Common patterns across 2009 Audi models
Below are the patterns you are most likely to encounter on 2009 Audi passenger cars and SUVs. The majority share the 5-lug, 112-mm diameter pattern, while the full-size SUV adopts a different standard.
- 5x112 bolt pattern: Applies to most 2009 Audi passenger cars, including A4, A5, A6, A8, Q5, and TT variants.
- 5x130 bolt pattern: Used by the Audi Q7, the brand’s full-size SUV in the 2009 lineup.
In practice, the 5x112 pattern covers the bulk of the 2009 lineup, with the Q7 standing out as the exception. Always verify with your specific model’s documentation or by checking the wheel specs.
How to verify your vehicle’s bolt pattern
If you need definitive confirmation, here are steps to verify your car’s bolt pattern.
- Check the owner’s manual or the official specifications for your exact model and year. The document will list the bolt pattern for the wheels.
- Look for stamped information on the wheel or hub that indicates the bolt pattern (for example, "5x112" on the wheel itself).
- Measure manually if necessary: locate two opposite lug holes, measure the distance between their centers, and confirm it equals 112 mm (for 5x112) or 130 mm (for 5x130).
- Consult a dealer or a wheel- or tire-database to verify the pattern for your exact VIN, especially if your vehicle has undergone aftermarket wheels.
For most owners, the manual check or VIN-based confirmation is sufficient to ensure the right bolt pattern before purchasing wheels or adapters.
Summary
The 2009 Audi lineup predominantly uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, with the Q7 as the notable exception at 5x130. Always confirm your exact model and year through official specs or your vehicle’s documentation to avoid fitment issues when shopping for wheels or adapters.
