2018 BMW 5 Series Touring (G31) | 20" 2-Piece Forged · Brushed Silver Center + Polished Lip
- Model: RC961-1XT
Eleven inches of width at every corner is what makes this G31 build unusual. Instead of using a narrower front and wider rear, the Touring runs a square 20×11 ET35 specification throughout, giving the long wagon body a broad, even footprint. Brushed five-spoke centers keep the face restrained, while independently polished lips reveal the width more clearly from an angle. Each wheel is listed at 13.9 kg.

Descriptions
Engineering Notes
Front width is the real engineering story on this page. Running 20×11 at the rear is not unusual for a custom performance fitment; carrying that same 11-inch width at the front introduces the more demanding clearance question.
ET35 was developed with front-strut clearance in mind, while 5×112 PCD and a 66.6 mm hub-centric bore are recorded for all four corners. Existing Engineering Notes also state that no spacer rings are required.
Two-piece architecture creates a genuine separation between the finishes. Brushed silver belongs to the forged five-spoke center, while the independent outer section receives a mirror polish. Hardware joins the two components mechanically and remains visible as part of the finished wheel.
Directionally brushed metal gives the center a quieter, more technical surface than full polish. Brighter lips then reveal barrel depth and wheel width from oblique views, which is particularly useful on a square fitment where there is no deeper rear wheel to create contrast.
Finished mass is listed at 13.9 kg per wheel, with a 750 kg load rating. Keeping those figures alongside the unusually wide front specification gives the page far more character than general statements about premium forged construction.
From Design to Delivery
Quality Verified
- CMM dimensional inspection on PCD, bore & offset
- Torque-spec assembly hardware, sealed & pressure-tested
- Dynamic balancing on every wheel
- Load-rated to 750kg per wheel
Result
Square sizing gives the Touring a planted stance without deliberately adding more visual weight to the rear. Every corner presents the same wheel volume, which suits the long, balanced body of the G31.
Finish contrast provides the depth instead. Brushed silver keeps the five-spoke center refined, while polished lips brighten the perimeter and make the 11-inch width more apparent without introducing another paint color.

Build & Fitment
Eleven Inches at the Front Changes the Conversation
Rear width is not the unusual part here. Front width is.
Running 20×11 on the steering axle means strut clearance becomes central to the fitment, and the original Engineering Notes specifically record safe front-strut clearance with ET35.
Square Rather Than Rear-Biased
All four positions use exactly the same 20×11 ET35 geometry.
No axle receives a different diameter, width or offset simply to create visual drama. The result is a more consistent footprint and a different character from the usual staggered Touring setup.
Two-Piece Construction Makes the Finish Honest
Brushed center and polished lip are not created by masking two areas of a monoblock.
Separate components receive separate finishes before assembly, allowing the polished section to remain visually distinct and making future refinishing more practical, as the existing page notes.
Hub-Centric Without Spacer Rings
66.6 mm center bore is machined for the recorded BMW fitment, while the existing project specifically notes that spacer rings are not required.
For another G31 with different suspension, tires or brake hardware, Xingtu can work from the actual clearance data rather than assuming 20×11 ET35 transfers directly.

FAQs
1. Are these BMW G31 Touring wheels staggered?
No. All four corners use a square 20×11 ET35 specification.
2. Is 11-inch width also used at the front?
Yes. The front and rear wheels share the same 20×11 dimensions.
3. Does the front wheel clear the strut?
Existing Engineering Notes record safe front-strut clearance for this specific fitment.
4. Are spacer rings required?
No spacer rings are required according to the existing project description.
5. How much does each wheel weigh?
Finished weight is listed at 13.9 kg per wheel.
6. What load rating is specified?
Each wheel carries a listed 750 kg load rating.
7. Why use a 2-piece wheel instead of a monoblock here?
Separate forged center and outer section allow the brushed and polished surfaces to remain physically distinct, while the assembly hardware stays visible as part of the design.
