Shop Wheels for 2009 Lotus Elise SC
Showing 8 of 8+ wheels compatible with the 2009 Lotus Elise
The 2009 Lotus Elise SC rolls on a 4x100 bolt pattern with staggered fitment from the factory. Your SC comes equipped with sixteen-by-six front wheels and seventeen-by-eight rear wheels, both engineered for the track-focused performance this lightweight machine demands. Every wheel we offer has been verified to bolt on perfectly, and we ship free to the lower 48 states.
Finding the right upgrade for your Elise doesn't have to be complicated. We stock premium brands like Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, and Motegi Racing in sizes ranging from sixteens through eighteens, all compatible with your vehicle's specifications. Whether you're chasing lap times or refreshing your daily driver's stance, each wheel in our inventory is tested for fitment before it ships.
2009 Lotus Elise SC Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2009 Lotus Elise SC requires a 4x100 bolt pattern. Stock setup runs 16x6 ET25 up front and 17x8 ET38 in back, maintaining the car's factory stagger. You can mix sizes freely from our compatible range: front options include 16x6, 16x6.5, or 16x7, while rears accommodate 17x7, 17x7.5, 17x8, 18x8, or 18x9. This staggered fitment preserves the performance balance Lotus engineered into your SC.
The 4x100 bolt pattern is strict—no other pattern will fit this Elise. Our wheels are hub-centric at 56.6mm, so if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore, we'll provide hub-centric rings to ensure a perfect fit. Because your SC has limited fender clearance, avoid significantly aggressive offsets or widths beyond what's listed; pushing too wide risks rubbing against bodywork and suspension components.
Every wheel we stock for your Elise is verified to bolt on safely. All orders ship free throughout the lower 48 states. We carry Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift—all ready to ship.
