E46 fitment FAQ
BMW 3 Series E46 wheel questions
What stud pattern does the BMW 3 Series E46 use?
The BMW 3 Series E46 uses 5x120. Every wheel on this page comes in 5x120.
What size wheels fit the E46?
From the factory the E46 runs 17×7.5 +41 · 17×8 +47 · 18×8 +47. Our customers' E46s run 19×8.5 +30 / 19×9.5 +25, 18×9.5 +22, 19×8.5 +30, with 19×8.5 +30 / 19×9.5 +25 the most common.
Do I need hub-centric rings on the E46?
Yes. The E46 hub is 72.6 mm and our SW wheels have a 73.1 mm centre bore, so a 73.1–72.6 hub-centric ring centres the wheel and stops vibration.
What wheel nuts does the E46 use?
The E46 uses M12×1.5 bolts wheel nuts. Aftermarket wheels often have tighter lug holes, so slim internal-drive nuts are the safe choice.
Are prices per wheel?
Yes. Prices are per wheel and the set-of-4 price is shown under each wheel. Staggered sets are 2 front and 2 rear.
