1987 BMW 735i Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 BMW 735i demands 5x120 bolt pattern wheels. The factory 15x7 with +20 offset is your baseline. You can step up to 15x8, 16x7 through 16x8, 17x7.5 or 17x8, and even 18x8—all bolt straight on. Since this car runs square, not staggered, you have full flexibility pairing any compatible size front and rear.
Only five-lug 120mm-pattern wheels fit this BMW. The hub-centric bore measures 72.6mm, so if your chosen wheel has a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings for a proper fit. Be cautious pushing wider offsets or aggressive widths; the 735i's suspension geometry and fender clearance have limits that earlier research suggests shouldn't be ignored without verification of your specific setup.
Every wheel we stock for your 735i bolts on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, Aodhan, Petrol, KATANA RACING, Niche 1PC, and Enkei all offer fitments that work with your car—browse inventory and find your style.
