If you would like to fit aftermarket wheels, installing BMW wheel adapters is a good idea. Wheel adapters come with two sets of wheel bolt patterns. For example, the 5×120 to 5×112 wheel adapters allow you to fit 5×112 wheels on 5×120 vehicle hub quickly and safely. Besides, they also push the wheels further away. This increases the track width.
A wider track provides better stability and rollover resistance. It also allows you to install bigger tires and larger brakes safely and nicely. As long as you install them properly, high-quality BMW wheel adapters are safe and reliable. In this blog, we will delve into the top 5 factors of good BMW wheel adapters to help you avoid costly mistakes.
5 Steps to Choose the Best BMW Wheel Adapters
Thickness:
- 25mm: Starts to deliver noticeable stance changes and improved stability.
- 30mm: Offers a noticeable stance difference and enhances ride quality.
- 40mm: Makes your car look more powerful and boosts the handling.
- 50mm: Allows you to fit a wide-body kit while keeping the stock wheels.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Figuring out the correct bolt patterns (PCDs) of the vehicle and the wheels is the first thing when researching and shopping for BMW wheel adapters. For example,
- Vehicle Hub: PCD=5x120mm.
- Your Wheels: PCD=5x112mm.
Check Wheel Offset:
Determine your current wheel offset and calculate the difference from the desired offset. Generally, a 25mm wheel adapter will reduce about 25mm offset.
Quality Material:
Not all BMW wheel adapters are created equal. Always choose high-quality wheel adapters that are made of forged aluminum alloy. Those forged rim adapters provide superior strength and rust resistance.
Consider Usage:
For daily driving, the 6061-T6 adapters are usually sufficient, while performance driving may require stronger 7075-T6 adapters to undertake more stress.
