All models use a 5 x 114.3 mm (5 x 4.5") hub bolt pattern. Offsets in the range of 35 - 50 mm should fit - you don't normally see wide wheels with high offsets that result in big backspacing. The CX-5 uses the Mazda-standard 67.1 mm center bore diameter.

Note 1: Pirelli doesn't seem to think that the rest of the tire industry's standards for suitable wheel mounting width apply to them. There are quite a few Pirelli tires that have oddball width ranges compared to other tires of that size. I've noted where I ran across these in compiling this list, and marked sizes for which Pirelli has at least one offering with a different recommended mounting width. There are undoubtedly more, but this is just what I've run across so far.
Note 2: These sizes are somewhat questionable, but Continental's Tire Selector indicates that they're suitable fitments for a CX-5. They certainly meet the load rating requirement for the vehicle, but I'd keep an eye out for rubbing if anybody wants to try them.
Anybody who wants to put 22" wheels on their CX-5 can do their own homework - the load ratings on the tires are marginal at best, and the wheels are ridiculously heavy. I strongly recommend against it.
