1992 BMW 318is Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1992 BMW 318is rolls on a 5x120 bolt pattern. The stock setup is a 15x6 wheel with a 42mm offset. You can step up through 15, 16, 17, or 18-inch diameters, maintaining square fitment across widths ranging from 6 to 8 inches depending on diameter, with compatible offsets keeping that classic 42mm stance.
Keep in mind that only the 5x120 bolt pattern will fit this BMW—no other pattern works. The hub-centric bore measures 72.6mm; if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Aggressive widths or offsets too far from stock can risk rubbing against the fenders or suspension, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid trouble.
Every wheel we stock for your 318is is verified to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We carry Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, Aodhan, Petrol, KATANA RACING, Niche 1PC, and Enkei in fitments that suit your car.
