BMW M3 wheel fitment — E90/E92/E93
BMW M3 wheel fitment
BMW M3 wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 (2007–2013).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 72.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12 x 1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 115 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8J–9J | ET10–ET25 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9J–10J | ET23–ET40 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
Overview
The BMW M3 E90/E92/E93 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series produced by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. This generation covers the period from 2007 to 2013 and was available as saloon (E90), coupé (E92), and convertible (E93) body styles. It succeeded the E46 generation and marked a significant shift with its use of a straight-six engine, though it reverted to rear-wheel drive from the previous all-wheel-drive setup. The M3 was positioned as a premium sports sedan offering exceptional performance and handling.
