The Short Version
- 5×114.3 on both. The pattern survives the model change.
- The 4G63T Turbo R runs exactly the same wheel as the base Airtrek. 6J×16 at +46, no exception.
- The offset drops from +46 to +38 when the Airtrek becomes the Outlander.
- The Airtrek bore is unresearched. The Outlander’s is a published 67 mm.
One Wheel for the Whole Airtrek Range
This is unusual enough to lead with. Every Airtrek grade in the factory database — the 20E and 20V, the 24V and 24V-S, the Sports Gear and Active Field, and the Turbo R with the 4G63T — runs 6J×16 at +46.
Not a wider rim for the turbo. Not a different offset. Not even a different tyre on the rows we read — the Turbo R page gives 215/60R16, the same as the rest.

For a Turbo R owner this is good news and bad news. Good: any Airtrek wheel fits, and there are a lot of cheap ordinary Airtreks. Bad: there is no factory wide-wheel option to hunt for, because Mitsubishi never made one.
Eight Millimetres, and What They Mean
The move from +46 to +38 at the Outlander changeover is the practical difference between the two cars.
Outlander wheels on an Airtrek will sit 8 mm further out per corner. That is a mild, generally flattering change and it is one of the easiest upgrades available — particularly the 18×7J from the Outlander G, which is a bigger wheel than the Airtrek ever offered.
Going the other way, Airtrek wheels on an Outlander will tuck in slightly and look smaller, because they are.
The Bore Question, and Why It Is Awkward Here
Every Airtrek row leaves the bore blank, and the Turbo R grade page confirms 調査中 — under investigation. Every Outlander row gives a real 67 mm.
67 mm is the Mitsubishi standard, confirmed across the RVR, the Pajero iO and the third-generation Pajero. An Airtrek almost certainly uses it. We are not printing it as fact.
What makes this awkward rather than academic: if you are fitting Outlander wheels to an Airtrek, you are relying on the two hubs being the same size, and only one of them is documented. Measure the Airtrek hub first. It is a ten-minute job and it is the difference between a hub-centric fit and a stud-centric one on a 1,600 kg car. Our reference covers the method.
Sizing
Both cars are tall, square and have arch room the factory did not use. The common ground is 17×7.5J to 18×8J in the +35 to +46 band, which is essentially where the Outlander G sits from new.
Watch the load rating rather than the width. These are heavy vehicles and the Airtrek Turbo R in particular carries real pace; a wheel sold for a saloon of similar diameter may not have the load index. Our load rating guide covers the arithmetic.
Importing
The Airtrek launched in June 2001, so the earliest cars become eligible for US import from 2026 onward on a rolling basis.
North America received the Outlander but never the Airtrek, and never the Turbo R — a 4G63T crossover with around 240 PS, which is a specification that simply did not exist elsewhere. It is the reason to import one.
What We Could Not Verify
- Hub bore for any Airtrek grade, including the Turbo R. Confirmed unresearched on the grade page.
- Whether any Airtrek grade was offered with an optional wheel differing from the standard 6J×16.
