offset/bolt pattern

[m3f_Tpb31_67f747186d]

Could someone please tell me the off set and bolt pattern on an E36 M3? Thanks

[m3f_98technovlt]

5 x 120 40mm (or 38mm depending on who you ask)

Stock wheel offset is 41mm... assuming you ask someone who knows!

[m3f_stephen]

41mm is correct.

Yeah, n00b question... where is offset measured from?

Offset is measured from an imaginary point created at the radial center of the wheel at half the wheel width, to a point perpendicular to a plane created by the bolt mounting surface.



Or, measure the rim width and divide by 2. Then measure from the rim edge to the mounting surface. Subtract the first from the second to get the offset (either + or - depending on wheel design).



Here's another explanation: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm

Ahhh. Thanks max

[m3f_Max M3]

Ahhh. Thanks max



Thought you'd appreciate that in triplicate!

Sorry, not sure what I was thinking - I sit corrected...

Its funny cause the new ADR Msports that I ordered have H5 114.3 on the inside, which I assume stands for 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Yet all 5 bolts went in perfectly...
