BMW i5 wheel fitment — G60/G61/G68
Overview
The BMW 5 Series (G60) represents the eighth generation of this executive car series manufactured by BMW since July 2023. It is built on an updated version of the rear-wheel drive Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform, shared with the larger G70 7 Series. The lineup includes the G60 saloon, G61 estate (Touring), and the long-wheelbase G68 model exclusive to China. This generation introduces a battery electric powertrain variant called 'i5', offering three models: eDrive40, xDrive40, and M60 xDrive.
BMW i5 wheel fitment
Start with the hub. The BMW i5 G60/G61/G68 spec table gives the bolt pattern and bore; the second table is the aftermarket window for BMW i5 wheel fitment.
| 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 | 8.5J–9J | ET22–ET36 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9.5J–10J | ET40–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.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 8,372 BMW i5 on UK roads, placing it in the top 15% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes BMW i5 wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
