Are you hunting for the ideal wheel and tire setup for your 2025+ BMW G90 or G99 M5? Our G90/G99 M5 fitment guide is designed to help owners identify the best wheel and tire combinations for aggressive street driving while maintaining OEM-level drivability and xDrive compatibility. With significantly increased curb weight and power compared to previous generations, the latest M5 benefits greatly from wider forged wheel fitments that improve front-end grip, steering response, and overall stability.
Our forged APEX VS-5RX wheel lineup was developed specifically with modern M chassis requirements in mind, utilizing advanced brake scanning and chassis measurement data to maximize brake clearance and optimize fitment. Due to the G90 and G99 M5 utilizing BMW’s new 5x132 bolt pattern, wheel options for these platforms are currently very limited across the aftermarket. Rather than adapting existing designs with compromise, our VS-5RX wheels were engineered specifically for the unique requirements of the G9x M5 chassis, including proper load ratings, brake clearance, and optimized offsets. The fitments below were selected to deliver a noticeably more aggressive stance than stock while remaining fully functional with OEM tire sizing and without requiring modifications.
Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development, we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.
Our APEX VS-5RX wheels will clear all factory brakes on the G90 and G99 M5 in the configurations listed in this guide. If you have aftermarket brake clearance questions, please email expert@apexwheels.com.
xDrive Compatibility
All fitments listed in this guide are xDrive compatible. If you have questions regarding alternate tire sizing or fitment compatibility, feel free to email experts@apexwheels.com for confirmation.
