BMW X1 wheel fitment — II F48/F49
Overview
The BMW X1 II (F48/F49) is the second generation of the subcompact luxury crossover SUV, introduced at the September 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show and later at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. It marks a shift from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive (sDrive), with an optional all-wheel drive (xDrive). Built on the modular UKL2 platform shared with MINI models, it offers improved interior space despite being shorter in wheelbase compared to its predecessor. A long-wheelbase variant (F49) was introduced for the Chinese market in 2016.
BMW X1 wheel fitment
BMW X1 wheel fitment for the BMW X1 II (F48/F49) (2015–2019): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| 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 | 7.5J–8.5J | ET22–ET35 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9J–9.5J | ET31–ET45 |
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.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 129,378 BMW X1 on UK roads, placing it in the top 3% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes BMW X1 wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
