1994 BMW 318is Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1994 BMW 318is uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 72.6mm hub bore. The stock setup runs 15x6 wheels at a 42mm offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, or jump to 16-inch sizes like 16x7, 16x7.5, or 16x8. Seventeen and eighteen-inch options are available too, giving you plenty of room to customize the look without sacrificing fitment.
The 5x120 bolt pattern is specific to your car—don't assume other BMW sizes will work. Since your wheels need a 72.6mm center bore, use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger bore to ensure proper centering and balance. Aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk rubbing the fender or suspension, so stick within the listed compatible sizes to avoid costly modifications.
Every wheel listed here bolts straight on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We keep Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, Aodhan, Petrol, KATANA RACING, Niche 1PC, and Enkei in stock for your 318is, so finding your perfect setup is straightforward.
