Using the automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car BMW 5 (E60, E61), you can avoid many problems related to their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of car manufacturers. After all, these components have a huge impact on a number of vehicle performance, from handling to dynamic qualities. In addition, one cannot fail to note the importance of tires and rims as elements of active safety. That is why the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which implies the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, only a small part of car owners owns such technical nuances. Regardless of this, the automatic selection system will be extremely useful, that is, it will minimize the likelihood of making the wrong decision when choosing certain tires and rims. And there is plenty to choose from, thanks to the widest range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

Many motorists have considerable admiration at the sight of a beautiful car sparkling with polished alloy wheels. And this admiration pushes you to go to the car market and pick up a set of original discs. Or another case: according to the rules of the road, the driver is obliged to change a set of summer tires for winter tires, and vice versa. Every time to go to the tire fitting and change the car's shoes is a troublesome business. It is much easier to change the wheels along with the disks. Or another case: the destruction of the disk for one reason or another. The result is the same - you need to buy new disks. What disks to put, how to choose them and by what parameters? In this article, we will pay attention to the bolt pattern of the BMWE34 rims, as well as the size of the BMWE34 tires. The definition of bolt pattern can be given as follows - this is the ratio of the number of mounting holes to the diameter of the circle of their placement.

Disc breakage. A is the distance between the centers of the holes, B is the calculated diameter of the circle. The bolt pattern for discs with a different number of holes is determined by the corresponding formula under the figure

The motorist needs this knowledge if he selects from disks that are already available on the spot, and their “pedigree” is unknown. To date, the bolt pattern has been determined for almost all cars, and for the BMWE34 it is 5x120. This means that the disc is attached to the hub with five bolts located around a circle with a diameter of 120 mm. And this value can be found on the disc label. For example:

7 Jx15 H2 5x120 ET20d72.5, where

7 - wheel width in inches.

15 - disc diameter in inches (without flange).

5x120 - bolt pattern (5 - the number of holes, 120 - the diameter of the circle along which they

located).

ET20 - disc overhang (distance between the disc mounting plane and the axis of symmetry of the disc).

d72.5 is the diameter of the central hole for the wheel hub.

Letter indices for specialists:

J - designation of the flange profile (J - the most common).

H2 - annular protrusions on the seat of the rim.

Many motorists, trying to tune their cars, install wheels and tires with parameters that are strikingly different from those recommended by the manufacturer, which can lead to unpleasant, if not tragic, consequences.

If you are not yet paying for brand new discs, we suggest thinking about the issue of not only size, but also the material from which the disc is made. Today, the market for discs is large and several types of wheels are now available. Steel, cast aluminum or magnesium alloy wheels, forged.

Steel rims are the classic rims that are the most common today because they are the most economical and easy to repair. The disadvantage is that they are the heaviest. And the smaller the mass of unsprung parts, the better the handling, ride, and dynamics of the car.

Alloy wheels are wheels that are in second place both in terms of prevalence and price. They are more expensive than steel, but cheaper than forged ones. The disadvantages are that they do not roll well after deformation, and with strong impacts they can crack. Available in aluminum and magnesium alloys.

Forged composites are the lightest, strongest and most expensive.

There are also aluminum and magnesium alloy wheels. There are monoblock, two-piece and three-piece.

The choice is yours!
