The F10 M5 is the last M5 on 5x120 and runs a mild factory stagger of 9 and 10 inches. Owners usually widen the rear to 11 inches on 19 or 20-inch wheels for a flush stance, keeping the big saloon looking understated rather than stretched.
Apex's aggressive street fitment. Needs at least a 5 mm rear spacer, with 12 mm recommended for a flush rear. Steel brakes only, as carbon-ceramic cars need 20-inch wheels.
Keeps the factory 20-inch tyre sizes. Forged wheel makers quote front ET25–26 and rear ET25–36 for this width; lower rear offsets push the wheel further out and suit a lowered car with checked arch clearance.
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 bolts are M14x1.25 with a conical seat, tightened to 140 Nm. Spacers need correspondingly longer bolts.
The hub is 72.56 mm and most wheels are bored to 72.6 mm. One wheel maker lists a 74.1 mm bore, which would need hub rings; the BMW figure is used here.
Steel-brake cars (400 mm front discs, six-piston calipers) need 19-inch or larger wheels. The factory carbon-ceramic package (410 mm discs) needs 20-inch wheels.
The F90 M5 that followed uses 5x112 and a 66.6 mm bore, so F10 and F90 wheels do not swap without adapters.
Apex's 19-inch stagger uses a rear offset of ET44 on an 11-inch wheel, which sits inboard of the stock rear; that is why a rear spacer is part of the fitment.
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.

Will 19-inch wheels fit an F10 M5 with carbon-ceramic brakes?+
No. The factory carbon-ceramic brakes need 20-inch wheels. Steel-brake cars can run suitable 19-inch designs.
Do F90 M5 wheels fit the F10 M5?+
Not directly. The F90 uses 5x112 with a 66.6 mm bore, while the F10 uses 5x120 with a 72.6 mm bore.
What are the F10 M5 factory wheel offsets?+
ET32 front and ET34 rear on both the 19-inch and 20-inch factory wheels, with 9-inch fronts and 10-inch rears.
What size tyres does the BMW M5 F10 have?+
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 2011–2016 BMW M5 F10 are 265/40 R19, 295/35 R19, 265/35 R20 and 295/30 R20, depending on trim, with wider rears on staggered setups. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.
What wheel size does the BMW M5 F10 use?+
Factory wheels are 19 × 9 inch, 19 × 10 inch, 20 × 9 inch and 20 × 10 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
What is the BMW M5 F10 centre bore?+
72.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings sized to it.
What is the BMW M5 F10 wheel bolt torque?+
140 Nm (about 103 lb-ft) for the original bolts. Confirm in your handbook, especially with aftermarket wheels or bolts.
This guide is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee. Specs can differ by market, trim and previous modifications. Confirm all sizes, clearances and fastener requirements with a qualified wheel and tyre professional before buying or fitting parts.
