2014 BMW i3 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2014 BMW i3?
The 2014 BMW i3 uses a 5x112 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.7mm and the offset is 43 (The car has thin wheels!)mm.
What other years of BMW i3 have the same bolt pattern as the 2014?
The BMW i3 uses the 5x112 pattern from 2014 through 2021. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2014, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the factory wheel offset for a 2014 BMW i3?
The OEM offset for the 2014 i3 is typically around 43 (The car has thin wheels!)mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
Why is matching the 66.7mm center bore important for the 2014 i3?
The 66.7mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Will wheels from another BMW fit my 2014 i3?
Only if they share the exact same 5x112 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 66.7mm.
What is the PCD for a 2014 BMW i3?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 2014 i3, the PCD is 5x112.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x112 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
Editorial Fitment Notes
BMW i3 is generally consistent in bolt-pattern records across model years, but offset and hardware should still be validated before purchase.
- Observed production years in our database: 2014-2021 (7 model years).
- Observed bolt-pattern variants: 1 (5x112).
- Observed total offset span across years: 83.0 mm.
- Observed center-bore variants: 2 | lug-size variants: 2.
