2018 BMW i3 Wheels & Rims
Shop Wheels for 2018 BMW i3
The 2018 BMW i3 Base and Range Extender models roll on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm center bore. From the factory, these trims come equipped with staggered 19-inch wheels: a 19x5 up front with 43mm offset and a 19x5.5 in back with 53mm offset. ThreePiece.us carries wheels specifically verified to bolt directly onto your i3, with every fitment tested before shipping free to the lower 48 states.
Upgrading your i3's wheels opens up several options beyond stock dimensions. You can stay with nineteen-inch sizing in both five and five-and-a-half widths, or step up to twenty-inch wheels in comparable widths and configurations. Our inventory includes premium brands like Work Wheels, Rotiform 1PC, Niche 1PC, MRR, Motegi Racing, Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, and Petrol—all pre-verified for proper fitment on your i3.
2018 BMW i3 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 2018 BMW i3 rolls on five-by-one-twelve bolt pattern wheels. Factory equipment runs nineteen-inch with a five-inch front width at forty-three offset and a staggered five-point-five-inch rear at fifty-three offset. You can upgrade to twenty-inch fronts and rears in five, five-point-five, or six-inch widths while maintaining that staggered setup, or go square with matching widths front and rear.
Only the five-by-one-twelve bolt pattern will fit this i3—no other patterns work. The hub sits sixty-six-point-six millimeters wide, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that measurement. Watch your offset choices carefully; wheels that run too wide or push too aggressive risk contacting the fenders or suspension components during full articulation.
Every wheel we stock for your i3 bolts on correctly and ships free across the lower forty-eight states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Work Wheels, and Rotiform 1PC all carry fitments ready to transform your ride.
