1998 BMW M3 Wheels and Rims

The E36 M3 is the connoisseur's choice from the golden age of BMW Motorsport, and the 1998 convertible pairs that silky S52 inline-six with open-air, rear-drive balance that rewards a properly chosen wheel. Whether you're chasing a period-correct stance or shedding rotational weight for back-road work, every fitment here is verified for the chassis, ships free, and can be split into payments with financing at checkout.

1998 BMW M3 fitment specs

  • Bolt pattern: 5x120
  • Center bore: 72.6mm
  • OE wheel diameter: 17"
  • OE offset: ET41
  • Setup: square (non-staggered)
  • Drivetrain: RWD, Convertible

The 72.6mm bore and 5x120 pattern are shared across a deep catalog of BMW-friendly designs, so you can shop all 5x120 wheels to cross-shop everything that bolts up.

Recommended setups

  • BBS for the definitive period-correct E36 look; mesh and split-spoke profiles that nail the factory Motorsport aesthetic.
  • Volk Racing for forged lightweight performance when you want to wake up the convertible's steering and reduce unsprung mass.
  • Rotiform for clean, concave German-tuner fitment if you're building a flush, show-quality stance.

Wheel & fitment guides

Cross-shopping the modern equivalent? Read CT4-V Blackwing vs BMW M3: Which Sedan Should You Buy?, and if you're dialing in aggressive fitment, learn what camber is and how it actually works before you commit to width and offset.

Use the Wheel Visualizer to see them on your M3, browse real customer builds in the build gallery, then spec a mounted-and-balanced kit with the Package Builder.

Shopping other generations? Compare the 1995, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2008, and 2009 M3 pages, or see all new wheels.
