1975-1983 BMW 3 Series Spare Tire

Spare Tire Options

1975-1983 BMW 3 Series models including 318i, 320i, 323i, etc require a 4x100 mm wheel and spare tire size that we do not have a solution for.

We've provided (spare tire only) fitment options below, but a spare wheel with the correct diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and hub size would be needed separately. A spare wheel might be found at a used parts store from the same vehicle type.

Another more DIY approach would be to find a wheel from another vehicle with matching wheel specifications. You can find a list of vehicles with the same bolt pattern, lug type, lug thread, and hub size at least as big
