BMW M2 F87 wheel fitment
The F87 M2 commonly runs either a factory-style 19-inch stagger or a smaller track package. The original M2 and the later cars with 400 mm front brakes need different minimum wheel diameters.
5x120 bolt pattern · 72.6 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 19 × 9, 19 × 10 inch · Stock tyres: 245/35 R19, 265/35 R19

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the M2: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Staggered vs square wheels: tyres, rotation and AWDCompare square and staggered wheel setups, calculate front-to-rear tyre diameter, and understand rotation limits and all-wheel-drive requirements.
Popular community setups
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
18-inch staggered road and track
- Front
- 18 × 9 inch, ET30 · 245/40 R18
- Rear
- 18 × 10 inch, ET40 · 275/35 R18
Apex direct fitment for cars with compatible smaller brakes. Not for the 400 mm 2NH or carbon-ceramic brake packages.
18-inch square track setup
- Front and rear
- 18 × 9.5 inch, ET28 · 265/35 R18
Documented Apex fitment for compatible smaller brakes. Wide track tyres need more front camber; some coilovers need 5 mm front spacers, longer hardware and additional camber.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- Factory BMW wheels use conical-seat bolts. Match the seat and thread engagement to the wheel; spacers require suitably longer bolts or an appropriate stud conversion.
- Wheel suppliers commonly specify 72.6 mm, while H&R lists 72.5 mm for its corresponding centring hardware. These are catalogue conventions for this hub family; order a part explicitly approved for the chassis.
- M2 Competition cars with the 2NH 400 mm brakes and M2 CS cars with 400 mm carbon-ceramic brakes need suitable 19-inch or larger wheels. Check the actual brake option.
- A square 18-inch setup must clear both the front suspension and the arches. ET28 and ET35 are not interchangeable without revisiting spacer requirements.
- Standard, Competition and CS tyre dimensions match, but the original tyre models and brake packages differ.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Questions
What is the F87 M2 bolt pattern?
5x120, with a nominal 72.6 mm centre bore and M14x1.25 wheel bolts.
Can an M2 Competition run 18-inch wheels?

245/35 R19 front and 265/35 R19 rear, on 19x9 ET29 and 19x10 ET40 wheels.

140 Nm for factory M14x1.25 bolts.
What wheel size does the BMW M2 F87 use?
Factory wheels are 19 × 9 inch and 19 × 10 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
What is the BMW M2 F87 centre bore?
72.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings sized to it.
