How to display 3 items per row in flexbox?

I had this same issue, but the selected correct answer did not work cause the my child items needed to have a fix width so here is my solution to show X items of fix width on DISPLAY: FLEX.

// Flex item width required: 215px
// Flex item margin 20px on each side: 215px + 20 + 20 = 255px
// I needed 3(your item per row) so: 255px * 3
// Then to (100% of parent-flex minus 255 * 3) / 2 padding on each side
// So it stays in the center.
padding: 40px calc((100% - (255px * 3)) / 2);

*, *::before, *::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

.parent-flex {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: tomato;
  padding: 40px calc((100% - (255px * 3)) / 2);
}

.flex-item {
   height: 100px;
   flex: 0 0 215px;
   margin: 1em 20px;
   border: 2px blue solid;
}

<div class="parent-flex">
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
  <div class="flex-item"></div>
</div>

Flex container:

You probably want to use display: flex not inline-flex.
Add flex-wrap: wrap to allow wrapping onto multiple lines.
Remove width: 33% if you wish it to take entire space avaiable.

For 3 items per row, add on the flex items:

flex-basis: 33.333333%
You can also use the flex's shorthand like the following: flex: 0 0 33.333333% => which also means flex-basis: 33.333333%.

.serv ul {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  padding-left: 0;
}

.serv ul li {
  list-style: none;
  flex: 0 0 33.333333%;
}

<div class="serv">
  <ul>
    <li>1</li>
    <li>2</li>
    <li>3</li>
    <li>4</li>
    <li>5</li>
    <li>6</li>
  </ul>
</div>
