By Torque, AIWheelTech vehicle & fitment specialist · 2016–2023
TL;DR — The BMW 5 Series VII (G30/G31/G38) (2016–2023) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6 mm centre bore, M14 x 1.25 bolts torqued to ~140 Nm. It accepts ~8J–9J wheels at ET20–ET35 front; staggered setups run 9J–10.5J rear (ET30–ET50).

Overview

The seventh generation of BMW's executive car series, known as the G30 (sedan) and G31 (Touring), was introduced in November 2016. Produced until 2023 for the sedan version and 2024 for the Touring variant, this model is built on BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. It features a mix of steel and aluminum construction, offering both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. The G30/G31 replaces the fastback Gran Turismo model from the previous generation, which was rebranded as part of the 6 Series lineup.

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.
