Mazda CX-5 Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Every generation of the CX-5 uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 67.1 mm center bore according to wheel-fitment databases; stock wheels run 17 to 19 inches with matching 225-245 mm tires depending on trim and year.
Bolt pattern and center bore by generation
Wheel-fitment databases (Wheel-Size.com and affiliated hub-centric-ring suppliers) report the same 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 in) bolt pattern and 67.1 mm center bore for the first-generation KE (2013-2016), second-generation KF (2017-2024, including the 2021 facelift), and the newest third-generation KI (2025 onward). Stud thread is commonly listed as M12x1.5 for the KE and KF generations. Independent listings for the brand-new KI generation are still limited, so treat the bolt pattern for that generation as well corroborated but the center bore and thread size as carried over pending fresh confirmation once more fitment data is published.
Stock wheel and tire sizes
Wheel diameters have grown modestly over time. Entry trims typically ride on 17-inch wheels while upper and turbo trims move to 18 or 19-inch wheels. Exact tire sizes vary by trim, region and year, so use the table below as a starting reference, not a universal answer.
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Centre bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CX-5 I (KE), 2013-2016 | 5x114.3 | 67.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 17x7J, 19x7J (higher trims) | 225/65R17, 225/55R19 |
| CX-5 II (KF), 2017-2021 (pre-facelift) | 5x114.3 | 67.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 17x7J, 19x7J | 225/65R17, 225/55R19 |
| CX-5 II (KF) facelift, 2021-2024 | 5x114.3 | 67.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 17x7J, 18x7J, 19x7J/7.5J | 225/65R17, 225/60R18, 225/55R19 |
| CX-5 III (KI), 2025-present | 5x114.3 (reported) | 67.1 mm (carried over, not yet independently confirmed) | M12x1.5 (carried over, not yet independently confirmed) | Data still limited - check current listings | Data still limited - check current listings |
Where to get the number that is actually correct for your car
Fitment databases aggregate manufacturer data but occasional regional or mid-cycle changes exist. The figure that always applies to your exact vehicle is printed on it.
- The driver's door jamb placard lists the correct tire size and sometimes wheel/rim size for your specific build.
- The owner's manual (glovebox or Mazda's online manual portal) has the full wheel and tire specification section, including the lug nut torque figure for your model year.
- The markings stamped on your current wheels (behind the spokes or on the inner barrel) show the exact size, offset and sometimes bolt circle.
- If you tow or carry heavy loads, check Mazda's towing/load guide for any load-rated tire requirements that differ from the standard fitment.
Lug nut torque
Sources citing Mazda CX-5 owner's manuals give a torque range of roughly 80 to 108 ft-lb (about 108-147 Nm) depending on the source and model year, with many independent guides pointing to a single 80 ft-lb figure for recent model years. Because sources vary, confirm the exact torque spec printed in your own owner's manual before tightening lug nuts.
Summary

Frequently asked questions
Is the bolt pattern the same on every Mazda CX-5 generation?
Every generation for which fitment data is available - the 2013-2016 KE, the 2017-2024 KF, and the newer KI - is reported as 5x114.3 mm by wheel-fitment databases, so it appears not to have changed. Independent data for the very newest KI models is still limited, so double-check your own vehicle's markings before buying wheels.
What center bore do I need for aftermarket wheels on a CX-5?
Fitment databases list 67.1 mm as the CX-5's hub bore across the generations with confirmed data. Many aftermarket wheels ship with a larger bore (commonly 73 mm) and need hub-centric rings to step down to 67.1 mm for a proper centered fit - verify the bore stamped on your specific wheel before assuming it matches.
What size tires came standard on the CX-5?
It depends heavily on trim, year and generation: entry trims commonly ran 225/65R17, mid trims 225/60R18, and higher trims 225/55R19, with some turbo trims seen on 225/55R19 as well. Check your door placard for the exact size specified for your build, since running the wrong size can affect the speedometer and handling.
How tight should CX-5 lug nuts be torqued?
Sources referencing Mazda's owner's manuals give figures ranging from about 80 to 108 ft-lb (108-147 Nm), and the exact figure can differ by model year, so this is best confirmed from the printed manual for your specific CX-5 rather than assumed from a single online source.
