BMW M5 F10 wheel fitment

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.

5x120 bolt pattern · 72.6 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 19 × 9, 19 × 10, 20 × 9, 20 × 10 inch · Stock tyres: 265/40 R19, 295/35 R19, 265/35 R20, 295/30 R20

Popular community setups

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.

19-inch flush stagger

Front
19 × 9.5 inch, ET22 · 265/40 R19
Rear
19 × 11 inch, ET44 · 295/35 R19

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.

20-inch wide stagger

Front
20 × 9.5 inch, ET25 · 265/35 R20
Rear
20 × 11 inch, ET36 · 295/30 R20

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.
