2009 Subaru Tribeca — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2009 Subaru Tribeca?
The 2009 Subaru Tribeca uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 56.1mm and the offset is 55mm.
What other years of Subaru Tribeca have the same bolt pattern as the 2009?

What lug nut size does the 2009 Subaru Tribeca use?
The 2009 Subaru Tribeca uses N 12x1.25 lug nuts. Always verify the thread pitch and seat type (cone, ball, or flat) match your aftermarket wheels.
What is the center bore of a 2009 Subaru Tribeca?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2009 Subaru Tribeca is 56.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Will wheels from another Subaru fit my 2009 Tribeca?
Only if they share the exact same 5x114.3 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 56.1mm.
Why is matching the 56.1mm center bore important for the 2009 Tribeca?
The 56.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
