350i wheel fitment?

[BMCVCNI]

What other cars have the same stud pattern as the 350i?

Thanks, Paul

Some Ford Granada's and Mercedes have the same PCD for the studs, just watch out for the offsets though.

Any idea what the offset should be? I havn't had a chance to check her existing wheels yet.

Thanks, Paul

ET 23 PCD 112

iirc


There is a bit of leeway, I have a set of 16" with an ET of 33, the fronts will fit straight on and the rear use a 6mm spacer, that is on a 400se.

Didn't the old Jags have the same PCD? I thought the main reason their wheels wouldn't fit was a massive offset difference (plus they're damned ugly... )

They are OZ split rims and look pretty much identical to the standard ones, I think they were a Mercedes fitment originally. Be careful with the later TVR wheels, the PCD/ET is different, I got caught out by that with a set of Chimera (iirc) wheels like that. Plenty of posts on this if you do a search of the wedge section of the forum.

If you want to buy new certain manufacturers/distributors will machine the wheels to the correct offset for you, the PCD is a common Ford size so that should not be a problem.

I think my 15inch lattice wheels were et42, the cerb wheels I know have are et23 and a bit close on the back tie bars. Also watch out for centre bore and get spigot rings made so they locate on the hub properly. The cerb wheels are PCD 114 and do fit the hub pcd 112 with some of those wobbly wheel bolts.
