2009 Audi Q7 Wheel Interchange

OEM wheel/tire sizes and fitment specs for the 2009 Audi Q7.

2009 Audi Q7 wheel fitment guide

Professional, safety-first advice for quick decisions. Use the on-page calculator to validate any swap before you buy or install.

tl;dr

The 2009 Audi Q7 uses a 5x130 bolt pattern, 71.5 mm center bore, and M14x1.5 hardware. The known OEM wheel is 19x8.5 ET62 with 6.69 in backspacing on a 265/50R19 tire. Confirm any change with the calculator and a physical test fit. Match load rating, hub fit, and seat type before driving.

Recommendation

Start from the OEM baseline below, then model alternatives in the calculator. Keep offset and backspacing close to stock to preserve clearance and steering feel. Use hub-centric mounting to 71.5 mm and the correct M14x1.5 hardware. If specs vary by trim or package, confirm on your vehicle before purchase.

Fitment item 2009 Audi Q7 (known OEM)
Bolt pattern 5x130
Center bore 71.5 mm
Thread size M14 x 1.5
Wheel size 19 x 8.5
Offset (ET) 62 mm
Backspacing 6.69 in
Tire size 265/50R19

Impact

  • Offset and backspacing: Moving far from ET62 or 6.69 in affects inner fender, upright, and brake clearance. Too low pushes the wheel outward; too high pulls inward.
  • Hub bore: Larger-than-71.5 mm bores need rings for hub-centric mounting. Smaller bores will not fit the hub.
  • Hardware: M14x1.5 is required. Seat type must match the wheel. Do not mix seat styles.
  • Tire size: Overall diameter changes affect speedometer and gearing. The calculator updates tire diameter as you change rim diameter and aspect ratio.
  • Steering and ride: Wider wheels and lower offsets can increase tramlining and kickback. Keep changes modest for daily use.

Risks

  • Brake interference: Larger calipers on certain trims or packages may reduce spoke and barrel clearance. Always test fit and rotate by hand.
  • Stud/bolt engagement: Insufficient thread engagement is unsafe. Verify bolt length with any wheel or spacer change.
  • Seat mismatch: Ball vs cone seats vary by wheel. The wrong seat type loosens under load.
  • Load rating: Tires and wheels must meet or exceed the Q7’s axle loads. Do not downrate.
  • Rubbing: Changes in width, offset, or tire profile can contact liners at full lock or compression.

Next actions

Use this quick checklist and the on-page tools. It’s the fastest path to a safe, clean fit.

  • Open the calculator. Set “Installed on (your vehicle)” to 2009 Audi Q7.
  • Choose a “Wheels from (donor vehicle)” or enter a “Custom wheel size.” Match tire size under “Custom tire size.”
  • Adjust rim width and offset. Watch inner and outer clearance changes versus the OEM 19x8.5 ET62.
  • Change rim diameter to test new tire profiles. The calculator updates overall tire diameter for you.
  • Keep overall tire diameter changes modest. Aim for minimal speedometer impact and adequate clearance.
  • Plan hub fit: the Q7 needs 71.5 mm hub-centric mounting. Use rings if the wheel bore is larger.
  • Confirm hardware: M14x1.5 thread. Match the wheel’s seat type and length. Check your owner’s manual for torque spec.
  • Physical test fit before driving. Verify caliper, spoke, and barrel clearance. Turn lock-to-lock. Bounce the suspension.
  • Re-torque after 50–100 miles. Recheck clearances under load.

How to confirm on your vehicle

  • Wheel markings: Look inside the wheel for size and offset stamps (e.g., “8.5Jx19 ET62”).
  • Hub bore: Measure with calipers or use OEM spec 71.5 mm for hub-centric rings.
  • Tire label: Driver’s door jamb lists tire sizes and pressures for your trim.
  • Hardware seat: Inspect an existing bolt against the wheel seat profile to match ball or cone.
  • Manual: Use the owner’s manual or OEM service info for torque and load ratings.

Gotchas

  • Some trims or brake packages may require more spoke clearance. Do not assume all Q7 wheels interchange.
  • Backspacing and offset are linked. Changing width without adjusting offset shifts inner or outer clearance.
  • TPMS compatibility can vary by market year and sensor supplier. Plan for relearn or reprogramming.
  • Spacers change effective offset and hardware needs. Only use quality, hub-centric spacers with correct bolts.

Notes on variations

If a spec is not listed here or differs on your Q7, it may vary by trim or option package. Use the calculator and verify against the door-jamb label, wheel stamps, and OEM documentation. When in doubt, test fit first.

You now have a clear path to validate wheels and tires for a 2009 Audi Q7. Model it, measure it, test fit, and drive confidently.
