BMW M2 G87
Customer-specification fitment guide for the BMW M2 G87. 5x112 / 5x120, 66.6 / 66.5, hub-centric — referenced against recorded LFI customer builds and specified from the car outward.
LFI forged wheels for the BMW M2 G87 use 5x112 / 5x120 PCD, 66.6 / 66.5 centre bore, 690 kg load target, 1,700 Nm torque target, with width, offset, tyre support, and brake clearance matched to the actual car before production.
Confirm PCD before machining
The guide preserves recorded data, but every G87 order is checked against the exact market car, hub and hardware before production.
Staggered M-car balance
Front clearance, rear traction, rolling diameter and DSC behaviour are reviewed as a package.
Big-brake clearance
Spoke root, barrel profile and backpad are shaped around the caliper template instead of solved after delivery.
Stage 3 fitment moat: For the current G87 M2, planning generally starts from 5x112 and 66.6 mm hub context, while older or imported records must still be confirmed before machining. LFI treats G87 as a brake-clearance and tyre-diameter project, more than a wide rear wheel exercise.
Chassis-Matched
Width, offset, and concavity specified to the vehicle — specified from measured vehicle requirements rather than shelf-size assumptions.
Brake Clearance
Spoke profile, barrel contour, and backpad machined to the brake package on the exact car.
Forged Response
Lower unsprung mass sharpens steering, braking feel, and ride control — immediately noticeable from the first drive.
| Area | Guide value | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|
| PCD | 5x112 / 5x120 | Confirmed at order time. |
| Centre bore | 66.6 / 66.5 | Machine hub-centric to the confirmed car. |
| Wheel sizes | 19x11 ET9 / 19x9.5 ET24 / 19x10.5 ET42 / 20x10 ET15 / 21x11 ET15 / 19x10 ET14 / 20x11 ET13 | Confirmed at order time. |
| Wheel models | LF-R EVO / Custom MF1015 / CSF1 V3 / LF-R with knurled beads | Face profile is selected around brake clearance and load specification. |
This G87 M2 build was created strictly for maximum visual impact. The stepped 20/21-inch stagger fills the wide box flares, while the ET15 front and rear offsets push the wheel faces outward without relying on spacers. The extended photo carousel gives customers a clearer view of side profile, front angle, rear angle, finish behavior, and concavity.
The primary row is drawn from recorded LFI build data. Alternate rows are specification directions — brake template, tyre shoulder, load target, and ride height are confirmed at order time.
| Direction | Wheel size | Wheel model | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 19x11 ET9 | LF-R EVO | Real LFI build record | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
| Alternate | 19x9.5 ET24 / 19x10.5 ET42 | LF-R EVO | Customer-proven direction | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
| Additional | 20x10 ET15 / 21x11 ET15 | Custom MF1015 | Customer-proven direction | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tyre shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
Wheel strength is not a single number. Vertical load, braking torque, drive torque, spoke-root stress, hub-pad stress, and bolt-seat behavior are all part of the engineering package — validated together, not in isolation.
The BMW M2 G87 has a verified GAWR of 1135 kg — 568 kg per wheel at the axle. LFI targets 690 kg per wheel, providing meaningful reserve.
Wheel strength is broader than vertical load. LFI also reviews acceleration, braking, cornering, potholes, tyre grip, hub-pad stress, bolt-seat stress, spoke-root stress, and rim-barrel torque reaction against an approximately 1,700 Nm per wheel static torque load target.
For the full engineering story behind each wheel, LFI's How LFI Wheels Are Made page covers design, forging, CNC machining, finishing, and quality control.
| Wheel load rating | Per-axle equivalent | Margin vs axle baseline | Status | How LFI positions it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 690 kg | 1380 kg per axle | +21% vs 568 kg/wheel | Green - Preferred | Street, fast-road, and daily use. |
| 790 kg | 1580 kg per axle | +39% vs 568 kg/wheel | Blue - Extra reserve | High-speed, harsh-road, heavy tyre, or extra reserve. |
| 890 kg | 1780 kg per axle | +57% vs 568 kg/wheel | Blue - Extra reserve | High-speed, harsh-road, heavy tyre, or extra reserve. |
| Validation load case | Reference basis | Suggested LFI target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radial vehicle load | Vehicle mass, passengers, tyre package, and selected wheel load specification | 690 kg preferred target | Vehicle mass and sustained road loading. |
| Torque load | Conservative 1g dry braking check with 60% front bias | ~1,700 Nm per wheel | Loads the hub pad, bolt seats, spoke roots, and rim barrel. |
| Cornering load | Lateral force from road grip, sticky tires, and fast-road or track use | Application-specific | Lateral loading under cornering. |
| Combined static load case | Radial load + torque load + cornering load | Application-specific | Real-world loads are combined, not isolated. |
Engineering Article
For forged wheel applications, vertical load is one part of the engineering picture. LFI also reviews spoke-root stress, hub-pad loading, bolt-seat behavior, rim-barrel stress, and combined static road-load cases where relevant.

This G87 M2 build was created strictly for maximum visual impact. The stepped 20/21-inch stagger fills the wide box flares, while the ET15 front and rear offsets push the wheel faces outward without relying on spacers. The extended photo carousel gives customers a clearer view of side profile, front angle, rear angle, finish behavior, and concavity.
This is the most balanced G87 street-performance case. It retains the factory-style 19-inch front / 20-inch rear format, but widens the wheels to 10 inches front and 11 inches rear. The ET14 / ET13 offsets bring the wheels flush with the M2's flared body while forged construction reduces rotational mass versus many heavy cast alternatives.
This is a no-compromise track setup. Running 19x11 at all four corners allows 295/30R19 square tires, reduces factory front-end understeer, and allows front-to-rear tyre rotation. The very aggressive ET9 front fitment is required to clear the front strut with an 11-inch wheel, while knurled beads help prevent tyre slip on the rim under hard braking and cornering.
This concept prioritizes minimum unsprung weight and maximum tyre sidewall. The 18x10 ET12 square fitment gives serious mechanical grip while preserving sidewall compliance for curbing, rougher circuits, and track-day durability. Final 18-inch brake clearance must always be checked against the exact G87 brake package.
