BMW M3 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for BMW M3 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the BMW M3 G80/G81 Facelift.
| 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 |
| Tyre pressure | 34-38 PSI |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–10.5J | ET-6–ET30 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9.5J–11J | ET-4–ET22 |
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.
