Mazda CX-9 Wheels and Rims

Mazda CX-9 Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Mazda CX-9 is Mazda's three-row crossover SUV, sold from the 2007 model year through the 2023 model year across two generations. Mazda discontinued the CX-9 after 2023 and replaced it with the new CX-90 starting in the 2024 model year, so this hub covers the full CX-9 production run and does not extend to current-generation crossovers. Both CX-9 generations run a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm hub bore, the same lug count (5), and the same M12x1.5 thread pitch. The two generations are otherwise different cars. The 1st gen (2007-2015) rode on a Ford-derived platform. The 2nd gen (2016-2023) moved to Mazda's own SkyActiv architecture and is the version most aftermarket CX-9 buyers are shopping for today. Find your generation below and the fitment specs follow.

Find Your Mazda CX-9 Generation

Pick your year range to see wheels and rims that fit your specific CX-9. The bolt pattern is the same 5x114.3 / 67.1mm across both generations, so the year split here is about fender clearance, brake spec, and aftermarket width tolerance, not bolt pattern. If you have a 2024 or newer Mazda three-row, you have a CX-90, not a CX-9. The CX-90 is a different platform and lives on its own hub.

The Mazda CX-9 Bolt Pattern

Both Mazda CX-9 generations run a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm hub bore. The imperial nickname for this pattern is 5x4.5 because 114.3mm equals 4.5 inches exactly. The lug count is 5, the thread pitch is M12x1.5. The bolt pattern did not change between the 2007-2015 1st gen TB and the 2016-2023 2nd gen TC, so wheels cross between the two generations on bolt pattern alone (the differences between the two are about width tolerance and fender clearance, not the hub spec).

One detail to flag because it catches some buyers. 5x114.3 is NOT the same as the 5x115 pattern used on some American sedans. The two sit roughly 0.7mm apart on the hub circle and a wheel built for one will not properly seat on the other. The 5x4.5 imperial nickname refers to 5x114.3 only. The 5x115 pattern lives on cars like the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Charger and those wheels will not fit your CX-9. When you are shopping, confirm the wheel listing says 5x114.3 specifically. The imperial form of this same pattern is 5x4.5. Compare across the rest of the Mazda lineup at our Mazda wheels and rims hub.

Why the CX-9 Generation Changes the Width Window

The two CX-9 generations share a bolt pattern but ride on different platforms. The 1st gen TB (2007-2015) used a Ford-derived architecture. The 2nd gen TC (2016-2023) was a clean-sheet Mazda design on the SkyActiv platform. The newer car is lighter, has different suspension geometry, and runs a slightly tighter fender opening. Our measured aftermarket width window opens to 9.5 inch on the 1st gen and tightens to 9 inch on the 2nd gen. Both generations top out at 22 inch in diameter and start at 18 inch.

The CX-9 is a square (non-staggered) crossover across both generations. Same wheel spec front and rear on every trim. Most aftermarket CX-9 buyers land at 20 inch on the 2nd gen for the upscale look without losing too much sidewall on what is meant to be a family hauler.

How We Confirm Fitment on Mazda CX-9 Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the CX-9 directly across both generations. For the CX-9 that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height, hub bore confirmation at 67.1mm, lug stud height, and turning clearance with the wheel and tire installed. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

That measurement work is what produced the generation-specific width windows on this page. It is also why every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.
