BMW 5 Series wheel fitment
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 VIII (G60/G61/G68).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8J–9J | ET20–ET35 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9J–10.5J | ET30–ET50 |
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.
