How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
SUVs carry more curb weight higher off the ground, so wheel strength and rotational mass both matter more than on a comparable sedan — a heavier wheel amplifies body roll and slows steering response exactly where the platform is already working hardest. Forging keeps the wheel light without giving up the load rating the factory suspension geometry was tuned around.
The BMW X4 M Competition F98 runs a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6mm center bore, and a F: 21x9.5J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 21x10.0J ET25 / R 21x10.5J ET30, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height BMW X4 M Competition F98. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 22x10.0J ET20 / R 22x11.0J ET25 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
BMW X4 M Competition OE Wheel Specs
The 2020 BMW X4 M Competition F98 (SUV) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 21x9.5J R: 21x10.0J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports the vehicle's curb weight and load capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for everyday and light off-road use
- Balances ride comfort with cargo and passenger stability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension travel and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the BMW X4 M Competition F98 (2020) we drill the 5x112 pattern and cut the centre bore to 66.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F 21x10.0J ET25 / R 21x10.5J ET30 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered BMW X4 M Competition F98.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F 22x10.0J ET20 / R 22x11.0J ET25 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 21x9.5J ET31 → ~6.47″ F backspacing, R 21x10.0J ET39 → ~7.04″ R backspacing
- Flush: F 21x10.0J ET25 → ~6.48″ F backspacing, R 21x10.5J ET30 → ~6.93″ R backspacing
- Max: F 22x10.0J ET20 → ~6.29″ F backspacing, R 22x11.0J ET25 → ~6.98″ R backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact BMW spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your BMW X4 M Competition F98? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the BMW X4 M Competition F98 (2020)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 5x112 pattern and the 66.6mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose.
Designs we already tool for the 5x112 pattern — each one is re-cut to your sizes and offsets:

Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M14x1.25, 60-degree conical-seat lug bolt.
Factory Torque Spec: 140 Nm (103 ft-lb). Consistent across modern BMW passenger and X-series models using factory conical-seat bolts.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
