The details below reflect data points known for the 2009 Chevrolet Impala. Wheel and tire specifications can vary by trim and package. Some 2009 Impala models used 16 inch tire packages, while others used 18 inch wheel packages. Use the on-page calculator and your vehicle’s door-jamb tire placard or GM documentation to confirm your exact setup before you buy.
| Attribute | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x115 | 5 studs on a 115 mm circle |
| Center bore | 70.3 mm | Hub size on vehicle |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 | Verify lug seat type for your wheels |
| Rim diameter | 18 in | Known OEM wheel size from certain trims |
| Rim width | 7.0 in | Known OEM wheel width |
| Wheel offset (ET) | 52 mm | Known OEM offset |
| Backspacing | 5.55 in | Corresponds to the above wheel size and offset |
| Tire section width | 225 mm | Part of a known OEM 16 inch tire package |
| Tire aspect ratio | 60 | Part of a known OEM 16 inch tire package |
| Tire rim diameter | 16 in | Known OEM tire package example 225/60R16 |
Important: The 18 inch wheel spec and the 225/60R16 tire spec come from different factory packages. Your Impala may differ. To confirm your original tire size, read the tire placard on the driver door jamb and compare with the calculator. To confirm original wheel size, check your build sheet, GM service information, or consult a dealer with your VIN.
Your 2009 Impala may have left the factory with either a 16 inch tire package or an 18 inch wheel package, depending on trim. Many owners consider plus-sizing to achieve a different look or tire selection. Use the calculator to:
Because OEM sizes vary by trim, verify your starting point on the door-jamb placard, then iterate in the calculator until inner clearance and outer poke remain acceptable with your suspension geometry.
What is the bolt pattern on the 2009 Chevrolet Impala?
5x115. Wheels must match 5x115 for proper seating and safety.
Can I install 5x114.3 wheels on a 2009 Impala?
This is not recommended. Mixing bolt patterns can prevent proper seating and may cause vibration or fastener failure. Use 5x115 wheels.
What is the center bore and do I need hub-centric rings?
The vehicle hub bore is 70.3 mm. If your aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to step down to 70.3 mm. If the wheel bore is smaller than 70.3 mm, it will not fit.
What lug nuts does the 2009 Impala use?
Thread size is M12 x 1.5. The seat type must match the wheel manufacturer’s specification. Always torque to the OEM spec listed in your owner’s manual or GM service information.
Will 18 inch wheels fit my 2009 Impala?
Some trims used 18 inch wheels from the factory. Fitment depends on your exact trim, brakes, and chosen tire size. Compare against the known OEM specs with the calculator and confirm using your door-jamb placard and a test fit.
What is the stock tire size?
One known OEM tire package is 225/60R16. Other trims used different sizes. Check your driver door-jamb placard for the tire size originally specified for your car.
Do I need new TPMS sensors?
If your current sensors are compatible and in good condition, you can often transfer them to new wheels. If replacing, use sensors specified for the 2009 Impala and follow GM programming procedures.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
