Wheel compatability 2011 to 2016 F25

DVMs135 · 09-06-2020, 02:08 PM

I have just traded in my 2011 X3 35i for a low mileage 2016 X3 35i, in showroom condition. I have a set of Blizzak non RFT snows on OEM 2011 rims that I intend to use on my 2016. Question for the wheel gurus here, will those OEM 2011 rims fit my 2016?

typically with BMW the wheel "offset" within a given Model series (F25 in this case) will be the same regardless of model year, so your older wheels will fit. You can double check by looking up wheel specs at either RealOEM or NewTis.info website.

Since they are both F25, they'll fit with the following caveat. Some of the sport models require bigger wheels to clear bigger brakes. For the F25, I believe any 18" wheel or larger will clear brakes on all models. So the only thing you might need to consider is if the wheels are 17" and you have upgraded brakes.

This is correct.

Thanks for the responses.

I am running 2015 X1 17" wheels on our 2017 X3 in place of the original 19's and they fit perfectly.
