2001 BMW Z8 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2001 BMW Z8 uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 72.6mm hub bore. Stock wheels measure 18x8 up front with a 20mm offset and 18x9 in back at 22mm offset. This vehicle ships staggered, so maintain that setup for proper handling. Compatible upgrades include 18x9, 19x8, 19x9, 19x10, 20x8.5, and 20x10 sizes across front and rear positions.
Only wheels with 5x120 bolt pattern will fit your Z8—no exceptions. Since your hub bore is 72.6mm, use hub-centric rings if a wheel's center bore exceeds that measurement to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or very wide fitments risk rubbing the fender and suspension, so verify specifications before ordering to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we list for your Z8 is confirmed to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. In stock now: Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, OHM, Aodhan, Petrol, KATANA RACING, Niche 1PC, and Enkei.
