Collection: BMW X1 Replacement Rims

The BMW X1 is the brand's smallest crossover, and its three North American generations carried it from a low, long-hooded wagon to a taller, more upright SUV. The E84 arrived for the 2013 model year on the rear-drive architecture of the 3 Series Touring. The F48 that followed for 2016 switched to a front-drive-based platform shared with MINI, and the U11, introduced for 2023, stretched and raised the body again. The factory wheels tracked every step. BMW moved from a 5x120 bolt pattern to 5x112, shrank the hub bore from 72.6mm to 66.6mm, retired the staggered 18 and 19-inch setups, and added a 20-inch size, while tire sidewalls grew taller along the way. This guide follows the X1's U.S. history from 2013 through 2026, pairing each generation's development with its verified wheel sizes, offsets, Style numbers and finishes, and explaining how the car and its wheels changed together.

Generation-by-Generation History

First Generation: E84 (2013-2015)

The E84 reached the U.S. in fall 2012 as a 2013 model, nearly three years after it went on sale in Europe. BMW built it in Leipzig on the same L2 platform and the same 2,760mm (108.7 in) wheelbase as the E90 3 Series, which explains its proportions: about 175.4 inches long and 60.8 inches tall, with a long hood and a low roofline that read more like a lifted Touring than a conventional SUV. Rear-wheel drive was standard on sDrive models. The U.S. lineup was the sDrive28i and xDrive28i, with a 241-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, and the xDrive35i, with a 300-horsepower turbocharged six. Sport Line, xLine and M Sport packages arrived with it, and each could change the wheel. BMW never sold the 2010 to 2012 European cars here, so the American E84 is a three-model-year run.

Four wheel layouts are documented. The base wheel was a 17x7.5 at ET34 with 225/50R17 tires. The 18x8 at ET30, with 225/45R18 tires, was the step up. The staggered packages are the generation's signature: an 18x8 front with an 18x9 rear, or a 19x8 front with a 19x9 rear, at ET30 front and ET41 rear, on 225/45R18 and 255/40R18 or 225/40R19 and 255/35R19 tires. They were an M Sport and xDrive35i option. BMW's wheel chart was published for the European car, so the offsets and widths come from BMW while the U.S. trim assignments rest on U.S. tire listings and owner-posted wheel data, including a Style 225M 19-inch set from a 2013 sDrive M Sport. Parts records list no separate sDrive and xDrive wheel sizes, and the rear 18x9 and 19x9 wheels have no counterpart on later X1 generations.

Visually, the E84 used the simplest vocabulary of the three generations: five-spoke, ten-spoke and split-spoke designs in painted silver at 17 inches, with finer multi-spoke and Y-spoke patterns and machined faces at 18 and 19. The staggered sets gave the car the most pronounced rear stance of any X1, with a rear wheel an inch wider than the front.

Second Generation: F48 (2016-2022)

The F48 dropped the rear-drive layout and the 5x120 pattern together. It moved to the UKL platform BMW shares with MINI and the 2 Series Active Tourer. Against the E84, the wheelbase fell about 3.5 inches to 105.1, the body grew 53mm (2.1 inches) taller and a little wider, length stayed near 175 inches, and cargo space rose by 85 liters to 505. The U.S. launch car was the xDrive28i with a 228-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, and the sDrive28i followed in mid-2016. A facelift for 2020 brought new bumpers, lighting and wheels, and the generation ended with the 2022 model year.

Every U.S. F48 is front-drive-based with xDrive optional, and every setup is square. The 2016 model started with an 18-inch wheel, not the 17-inch base used in Europe. Seventeen-inch wheels appear in parts records for 2016 to 2020 cars but were not documented as U.S. factory fitment, and the narrower 6.5-inch wheels in those records are not treated as factory equipment here. BMW of North America's pricing guides list the standard wheel as an 18x7.5 at ET51 with 225/50R18 tires (Style 569, with Style 566 as a no-cost alternative). The upgrade is a 19x8 at ET47 with 225/45R19 tires (Style 511, or Style 572M in the M Sport package). The M Sport 18-inch Style 570M is listed one millimeter higher, at ET52. One discrepancy: Canadian 2016 literature pairs the 19-inch M wheel with a 225/40R19 tire, while the U.S. guide lists 225/45R19, which this guide follows.

The 2020 facelift changed designs, not dimensions. Canadian literature shows Styles 579 and 580, plus M Sport Style 816M, on the same two sizes. Where the E84 separated its sport cars by wheel width, the F48 did it by pattern and finish: Y-spoke and double-spoke designs in charcoal and black machined finishes, with the facelift's Style 579 and 580 replacing the earlier Style 569 and 511 with fresh Y-spoke patterns.

Third Generation: U11 (2023-2026)

The U11 arrived in the U.S. in late 2022 as a 2023 model, initially as the xDrive28i alone, with a 241-horsepower four-cylinder and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The M35i xDrive, announced in 2023 for the 2024 model year, raised output to 312 horsepower. The body grew again, to about 177.2 inches long and 64.6 inches tall, roughly an inch longer in wheelbase and two inches taller than the F48, and the interior adopted BMW's Curved Display. The U.S. cars documented here are all xDrive.

Wheel diameters followed the body. The U.S. range runs from 18 to 20-inch, the standard 18-inch wheel moved to a taller 225/55R18 tire, and the larger wheels use 245-section tires. BMW's U.S. ordering guides confirm the dimensions but do not publish offsets, so ET comes from BMW part-number listings and OE parts records: ET50 for the 18x7.5 Style 838M and ET46 for the 19x8 Styles 867 and 871M and the 20x8 Style 869i. Offset for Style 866, documented as the base wheel in BMW's 2025 guide, and for Style 872M, the M35i's optional 20-inch wheel, was not verified, and no U11 offset is borrowed from the F48. The 2023 and 2024 base style names were not confirmed, though 18x7.5 and 225/55R18 are consistent across U.S. sources. Thread (M14x1.25) appears in parts records only. Some U11 designs also appear in X2 records; only X1 applications are listed here.

The U11's wheels moved toward contrast. The M Sport Style 838M and the 19-inch Style 867 pair a dark midnight grey with a bright-turned face, and the 20-inch Style 869i adds a Frozen Midnight finish under BMW Individual. Winter wheel sets, such as the 6.5-inch Style 879 reported for the U11, are accessory fitment and are excluded from the tables below.

Factory Wheel Styling Through the Generations

Only some spoke families recur across the X1. Cross-spoke and star-spoke designs do not appear in the X1 records reviewed, and no aerodynamic wheel is documented, so the progression runs through five-spoke, split-spoke, double-spoke, Y-spoke and multi-spoke designs.

The E84's wheels were conservative. At 17 inches the choices were five-spoke Style 317, ten-spoke Styles 318 and 621, five split-spoke Style 319 and seven split-spoke Style 354. The 18-inch cars added a fourteen-spoke design (Style 321), a five Y-spoke (322), a fifteen-spoke (323), a five double-spoke (355) and a ten-spoke (421). The 19-inch cars used a ten double-spoke (225), a ten-spoke (324) and a ten Y-spoke (465). Y-spokes were already in use, but they were one option among many.

The F48 narrowed the vocabulary and sharpened it. Five double-spoke (Styles 568, 570M and 572M) and five Y-spoke (569, 579, 816M) designs carry most of the lineup, alongside ten-spoke and ten split-spoke wheels (511, 566, 567, 573, 578) and the facelift's seven Y-spoke Style 580. The M Sport wheels are the double-spoke and Y-spoke ones. The U11 changed the language again with V-spoke Style 867, double-spoke Style 838M, five-spoke Style 866 and multi-spoke Style 869i, with the M Sport wheels carrying the M designation (838M and 871M).

Factory Wheel Colors and Finishes

Finish names below follow OE parts records and BMW part descriptions, which describe the finish type of each wheel rather than a BMW paint code. BMW's own color names are not verified for most styles, and none are invented here.

The E84 was dominated by painted silver. Nine of its documented styles are powder coat silver, including all five 17-inch wheels. Machined faces appear on the larger sizes: silver machined on the 19-inch Styles 324 and 465, grey machined on the 18-inch Style 323 and dark grey machined on Style 421.

The F48 shifted the palette darker. Charcoal machined became the most common finish, appearing on Styles 511, 569, 572M, 579, 580 and 816M. Grey machined (566, 570M), black machined (573) and silver machined (568) were also used, and Style 566 is also recorded in powder coat black. Multiple-finish records for Styles 567 and 578 show that some designs were offered in more than one finish.

The U11 leans on bi-color treatments. Styles 838M and 867 are recorded as midnight grey with a bright-turned face, Style 869i as Frozen Midnight with a bright-turned face, Style 871M as charcoal machined, and the base Style 866 as powder coat grey. Across the generations the trend runs from bright silver toward grey and midnight tones, with machined faces doing more of the visual work as wheel diameters increased.

How the X1 and Its Wheels Developed Together

The clearest relationship is between body height and tire diameter. By calculation, the E84's tires measure about 657 to 663mm in overall diameter across the 17, 18 and 19-inch sizes. The F48's 225/50R18 and 225/45R19 measure about 682 to 685mm, and the U11's 225/55R18, 245/45R19 and 245/40R20 measure about 703 to 705mm. Each generation's tires are roughly 3 percent taller than the last, which fits a body that grew 2.1 inches taller for the F48 and about two inches taller again for the U11.

Wheel diameter moved in step. The E84 started at 17-inch and reached 19, the F48 started at 18 and topped out at 19, and the U11 started at 18 and reached 20. The tire on the 18-inch wheel shows the trend: the aspect ratio rose from 45 on the E84 to 50 on the F48 and 55 on the U11. Offsets changed with the platform: the E84's 8-inch wheel sat at ET30, while the F48's 8-inch wheel sits at ET47, a 17mm shift toward the car's centerline, and the U11 holds that range at ET46.

The rear-drive E84 was the only X1 with a performance wheel package that differed front to rear. The front-drive F48 and U11 are square throughout, including the 312-horsepower M35i, whose 19x8 standard wheel and 20x8 option match the dimensions available on the xDrive28i. Brake clearance requirements for the larger wheels are not published in the sources used, so this guide makes no clearance claims.

Factory Wheel Styles, Colors and Finishes

Wheel Widths, Offsets and Fitment

Widths narrowed as the X1 matured. The E84 used 7.5, 8 and 9-inch wheels, the F48 settled on 7.5 and 8, and the U11 kept both, adding the 20x8 as a larger diameter rather than a wider wheel. Offsets rose from ET30 to ET34 on the E84 to ET47 to ET52 on the F48, and ET46 to ET50 where verified on the U11. The E84 is the only generation with staggered sets, using an ET41 rear against an ET30 front, so its two ends are not interchangeable with each other. The F48 and U11 are square, with the same wheel and tire at all four corners.

The bolt pattern changed once, from 5x120 to 5x112 with the F48, and the center bore shrank from 72.6mm to 66.6mm at the same moment, so nothing carries over between the E84 and later cars. The F48 and U11 share the 5x112 pattern, the 66.6mm bore and the M14x1.25 thread, but that alone does not make their wheels interchangeable. Same-size wheels differ by a millimeter in offset, and the tires differ in section: 225/50R18 against 225/55R18, and 225/45R19 against 245/45R19. Fitment should be judged on the exact wheel and generation.

BMW X1 OEM vs. Replica Wheels

Some drivers choose replica wheels for their similar appearance or price. If your goal is to replace a damaged factory wheel, a genuine OEM wheel offers the best path to the correct fit, finish, and overall appearance, without the extra research replica shopping usually requires. We offer genuine OEM at replica price levels, often less. Here's how the two options typically compare:

When a single X1 wheel is damaged, Finish Line Wheels can supply the genuine factory design, and the generation and package matter more than the model name when matching it.

BMW X1 OEM Wheel FAQ

What is the bolt pattern on a BMW X1?

The 2013 to 2015 E84 uses 5x120 with a 72.6mm center bore. The 2016 and newer F48 and U11 use 5x112 with a 66.6mm center bore.

What size wheels does the BMW X1 have?

The E84 used 17x7.5, 18x8 and staggered 18 and 19-inch setups. The F48 used 18x7.5 and 19x8. The U11 uses 18x7.5, 19x8 and 20x8.

Did the BMW X1 ever have staggered wheels?

Yes, in the first generation. Staggered 18 and 19-inch packages paired an 8-inch front wheel at ET30 with a 9-inch rear at ET41. The F48 and U11 are square setups.

Did the 2020 facelift change the F48's wheel sizes?

No. The 18x7.5 and 19x8 sizes carried over. The facelift introduced new designs, including Styles 579, 580 and 816M.

Do F48 and U11 wheels interchange?

Not on the strength of the shared bolt pattern and center bore. Offsets differ by a millimeter at each size and the tire sizes differ, so each wheel should be matched to its own generation.

Final Thoughts

The X1 is really three different wheel applications sharing a name. The E84 is a low, rear-drive-based wagon with 5x120 hubs, painted silver wheels and optional staggered sets. The F48 is a taller front-drive-based crossover on 5x112, with square setups and darker machined finishes. The U11 grows again, adds a 20-inch size and leans on two-tone midnight finishes. Matching a replacement to the generation first, then to the diameter, width, offset and Style number of the original wheel, is what keeps it factory-correct.
