    FWIW, the hubs on RealOEM are 33416867926 (front) and 33416867927 (rear). RealOEM also shows that the BMW i3 uses the same hubs. So you can share your favorite wheels from your i3.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the info - I have been trying (to no avail!) to get this info here in the UK - even the dealers could not tell me what the PCD was!

    How did you get the info, have you been able to take some measurements from a car?

    F56 owners(& to-be) shall be very grateful for this vital lil info. A few have gotten or kept wrong wheels thinking they're the usual 5x120.

    Magic, would you be able to check lowest possible offset w/o rubbing or getting camber off-spec? R53s came w/ et48 but were fine w/ 35 on mild lows, stock size tires & no camber tweaks.
    Thanks!

    et38, I'm guessing. 35 might call for a bit more negative camber. Again, ur hunch is as good as anyone's.

    It's curious on the F56 that all OEM wheel sizes/widths from 6.5x16 to 7x18 are ET54 - on 1st and 2nd Gens, they had different ETs.

    That plus some decent lows should make the F56 looking like a MINI.:D

    I have a set of VW 5x 112 off my old Golf. Does anyone have the bore size. If they fit, I will have them powder coated and use them for winters. Just an idea.
