1978 BMW 320i Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 BMW 320i fastens wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern. The stock setup runs 13x5.5 at a 25-millimeter offset. You can upgrade through several sizes—13x6, 13x7, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, and 15x7 all fit properly. Since this car runs square fitment, the same setup works at all four corners.
Only wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern will mount on this vehicle; no other pattern is compatible. The hub-centric bore measures 57.1 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that diameter. Offset matters considerably on a classic BMW—pushing too aggressive or too wide risks contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within recommended parameters.
Every wheel we list is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all stock fitments for your 320i right now.
