These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2009 Ford Flex. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 26 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -1.17 mm, inner change -5.18 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Center-bore records disagree (donor year-level hub 63.3 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -5.18 mm, inner change -1.17 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

The following specifications are the known OEM fitment data provided for the 2009 Ford Flex. Fitment can vary by trim, factory option, replacement wheel, or market, so confirm the information against the vehicle, wheel markings, owner documentation, and an OEM Ford source before purchasing.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x114.3 |
| Center bore | 63.4 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 18 inches |
| Rim width | 7.5 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET39 |
| Backspacing | 5.29 inches |
| Tire section width | 235 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 60 |
| Tire rim diameter | 18 inches |
The listed tire size information describes a 235/60R18 tire format. Confirm the exact size, load rating, speed rating, and inflation pressure on the driver door placard and in the owner documentation. Do not rely on wheel dimensions alone to determine whether a complete wheel and tire assembly is safe.
Use the calculator to compare a possible donor wheel with the wheel and tire setup installed on your 2009 Ford Flex. Select the donor vehicle or enter its wheel specifications, then set the installed vehicle as the 2009 Ford Flex. The comparison helps evaluate differences in rim diameter, rim width, offset, tire width, sidewall, and overall tire diameter.
The calculator is a comparison tool, not a substitute for a physical clearance check or OEM confirmation. It cannot verify every brake, suspension, fender, hub, tire load, or steering clearance condition.
Plus sizing changes wheel diameter while maintaining a similar overall tire diameter by using a lower-profile tire. The goal is to preserve an appropriate rolling diameter while changing the appearance and handling characteristics. The calculator can show how custom rim diameter, width, offset, section width, and aspect ratio compare with the known 235/60R18 setup.
Do not assume that a larger wheel or wider tire will fit simply because the bolt pattern matches. Wider wheels can change inner and outer clearance, while a different offset can move the wheel toward suspension parts or the fender. Lower-profile tires may also provide less protection from pothole damage and a firmer ride.
Before selecting an upgrade, compare the calculated tire diameter with the installed setup, then confirm brake clearance, steering clearance, suspension travel, tire load capacity, and fender clearance on the actual vehicle. The original equipment size and any permitted alternatives should be confirmed through OEM or tire manufacturer documentation.
Useful equipment includes a calibrated torque wrench, appropriate socket, jack and jack stands or an approved vehicle lift, a tire pressure gauge, a tread or clearance measuring tool, and a wire brush for cleaning hub surfaces. Always use lifting points and support procedures specified for the vehicle. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

The known bolt pattern is 5x114.3. Confirm the pattern on the wheel documentation before purchase, because a matching bolt pattern alone does not prove complete fitment.
The known center bore is 63.4 mm. A replacement wheel must have a bore that fits over the vehicle hub. If the wheel bore is larger, correctly sized hub-centric rings may be needed when approved for that application.
The provided OEM specification is an 18 inch diameter wheel measuring 7.5 inches wide, with ET39 offset and 5.29 inch backspacing. Trim-specific or market-specific differences should be confirmed through OEM sources.
The provided tire dimensions are 235 mm section width, 60 aspect ratio, and an 18 inch rim diameter, commonly written as 235/60R18. Confirm the complete tire marking, load rating, speed rating, and required pressure on the vehicle placard and tire documentation.
No. The wheel must also have compatible center bore, offset, width, brake clearance, lug hardware, load capacity, and tire compatibility. Use the calculator for dimensional comparison, then perform physical and OEM checks.
A different diameter may be possible, but the tire must be selected to maintain an appropriate overall diameter and load capacity. Use the custom wheel and tire fields in the calculator, review the tire diameter change, and verify clearance and vehicle-system requirements before installation.
Use the specification provided by Ford for the specific 2009 Flex and the installed wheel hardware. Aftermarket wheel manufacturers can have additional instructions. Do not use a generic torque value or rely on feel alone.
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.
