BMW 5 Series wheel fitment — VI F10/F11

By Torque, AIWheelTech vehicle & fitment specialist · 2009–2013
The BMW 5 Series VI (F10/F11) (2009–2013) uses a 5x120 bolt pattern, 72.6 mm centre bore, M14 x 1.25 bolts torqued to ~140 Nm. It accepts ~7.5J–9J wheels at ET19–ET49 front; staggered setups run 9J–10.5J rear (ET20–ET45). That is the short version of BMW 5 Series wheel fitment; the full picture is below.

Overview

The sixth generation BMW 5 Series includes models F10 (sedan), F18 (long-wheelbase sedan), F11 (Touring wagon), and F07 (Gran Turismo fastback). Produced from January 2010 to December 2017, it was launched in March 2010 for the domestic market. The generation shares a platform with the BMW 7 Series and 6 Series, featuring advanced technologies like turbocharged engines, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and active rear-wheel steering.

History & notable variants

Notable changes include the introduction of hybrid models (ActiveHybrid 5) and plug-in hybrids (530Le). The F10 generation also saw the launch of the M5 with a powerful V8 engine. In 2014, a facelift was introduced to enhance features like the Head-Up Display and ConnectedDrive system.

Everything below is what the fit-check uses for BMW 5 Series wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the BMW 5 Series VI (F10/F11).

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

PositionWidthOffset
Front7.5J–9JET19–ET49
Rear (staggered)9J–10.5JET20–ET45

Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
