BMW 4 Series F32/F33 LCI — Wheel Fitment & Specs
Overview
The BMW 4 Series F32/F33 LCI is a compact executive car manufactured by BMW from 2017 to 2020 as part of the first generation (F32/F33/F36). It was produced alongside and shares many features with the F30 3 Series. The F32/F33/F36 models include coupé, convertible, and Gran Coupé body styles. This generation succeeded the E92/E93 coupé/convertible models of the fifth-generation BMW 3 Series.
Wheel fitment

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET24–ET45 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8J–10J | ET33–ET50 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 113,829 BMW 4 Series on UK roads, placing it in the top 3% of car models by volume across our fitment database. That makes its wheel fitment a high-demand size to keep in stock — one reason we track its exact spec here.
