How to center elements on the last row in CSS Grid?

by

CSS Grid isn’t suited for alignment across an entire row because of crisscrossing tracks blocking the way. Here’s a detailed explanation:

As an alternative, use flexbox with justify-content: center.

This packs all items in the horizontal center of the row. Then your margins push them apart.

On fully-filled rows, justify-content will have no effect since there’s no free space for it to work.

On rows with free space (in your case, only the last row), the items are centered.

#container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: center;
}

.item {
  flex: 0 0 calc(16.66% - 20px);
  background: teal;
  color: white;
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 10px;
}

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div id="container">
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
  <div class="item">Item</div>
</div>
