BMW M5 wheel fitment for the BMW M5 VI (F90) LCI (2020–2023): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 9.5J–10.5J | ET16–ET35 |
| Rear (staggered) | 10J–11J | ET14–ET40 |
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.
