What Wheel Lug Pattern Does Subaru Use?


Subaru lug pattern guide will help you find a perfect replacement for old wheels.

You must know the exact lug pattern for the Subaru vehicle to choose new fitting wheels. And they might seem alike, but not all wheels are interchangeable. You can use this guide for general directions, but always make sure to check the exact lug pattern for your vehicle. 

Since Subaru has only cars, crossovers and SUVs in its collection of models, there is not much difference in bolt patterns. All the popular Subaru models have 5-lug patterns that differ in PCD across the years, trims and models.

Before 2014, most older Subaru models had a lug pattern of 5x3.94" as a standard. But after 2014, Subaru vehicles underwent major changes and adopted a lug pattern of 5x4.50".

This similarity in lug patterns for most Subarus makes these cars great candidates for wheel swaps between different models. Compatibility helps save some money on buying new wheels and makes things easier for you in general.

Most Subaru cars have wheels between 15" and 20". However, a few models, like the 2014-2022 Subaru Outback and 2006-2014 Subaru Tribeca, can fit bigger wheels up to 22".
