1971 BMW 1800 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1971 BMW 1800 uses a 4x100 bolt pattern, the same across Base and Touring trims. The stock wheel is 13x5.5 with a 25mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 14-inch and 15-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 5.5 to 7 inches, giving you flexibility to match your driving style and aesthetic without changing bolt patterns.
The 57.1mm center bore demands hub-centric rings whenever your wheel's bore exceeds that specification, ensuring proper centering and vibration-free operation. Only the 4x100 bolt pattern will fit this classic, so verify any wheel before purchase. Extreme width or aggressive offset combinations risk contacting the fenders or suspension, so consider your intended setup carefully within our compatible size range.
Every wheel we sell for your 1800 is verified to fit and ships free in the lower 48 states. Check our in-stock selection from trusted brands like Work Wheels, Enkei, Motegi Racing, and Heritage Wheel to find the right fitment for your build.
