1993 BMW 318is Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1993 BMW 318is uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a stock 15x6 wheel at 42mm offset. You can upgrade to 15, 16, 17, or 18-inch wheels across widths ranging from 6 to 8 inches, depending on diameter. Since this model doesn't run staggered sizing, any compatible size works front and rear alike.
The 5x120 bolt pattern is specific to your BMW—no other pattern will fit. Your hub's 72.6mm center bore means you'll need hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that measurement. Aggressive widths or offsets that push wheels too far outward risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid clearance trouble.
Every wheel we stock for your 318is bolts on straight and ships free across the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, and Aodhan are among the trusted brands ready to ship for your E36 chassis.
