1981 BMW 320i Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 BMW 320i rolls on a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 13x5.5 wheel at 35 offset from the factory. You can fit anything from 13-inch up to 17-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 inches depending on diameter. Since this car doesn't run staggered, front and rear accept the same sizes across our compatible lineup.
Only wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern will mount to your 320i. The hub-centric bore measures 57.1 millimeters; wheels with larger bores need hub-centric rings for a proper fit. Aggressive offsets and wider widths risk rubbing the fenders and suspension, so verify your chosen size against our fitment data before ordering.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your 320i and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all stock sizes that fit your car.
