Easy upgrades for street-driven cars
These bolt-on wheel fitments are ideal for F10 M5 owners enjoying their car day-to-day on the street. These wheels are typically paired with all-season or performance-oriented summer tires.
While these wheel fitments can be used by F10 M5 owners that attend track days and AutoX, performance will be left on the table. Drivers that prioritize performance should review our Performance Street & Track and/or Hardcore Track & Race sections below.
Square Configurations
Recommended for enthusiasts that want to mitigate understeer and rotate tires front & rear for extended life. Square configurations may compromise rear-end grip when compared to staggered configurations.

Staggered Configurations
Recommended for enthusiasts that prioritize rear end grip/traction. Wheels and tires cannot be rotated front to rear and large staggers may induce understeer.

Aggressive fitments focused on appearance
These F10 M5 wheel fitments are ideal for the driver who wants to fill out the wheel wells with the widest possible rubber and/or perfectly flush fitments. These stance oriented fitments are sometimes direct bolt-on, but often require small spacers, negative camber, or rolled fenders for the sake of dialing in the perfect blend of function and form.
Narrower tire sizes relative to rim width are more common here to help move the tire sidewall away from the fenders with more aggressive offsets. Street-oriented all-season and summer tires are popular options.

Wider fitments for enhanced performance
Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you are a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for F10 M5 owners looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance and they are typically paired with performance-oriented summer tires or track-oriented R-compounds.
The suspension type, alignment settings, and tire brand/size can be changed accordingly to set the car up for either environment. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required.

Our wheels are popular for winter use because of their unmatched brake clearance relative to the Stock M5 calipers. We recommend a square fitment to keep things simple and rotatable, although staggered fitments can also be used.
