SUBARU Forester Wheel Lug Pattern, Offset, and Rim Size Reference
The SUBARU Forester wheel lug pattern is crucial for selecting compatible wheels and ensuring safe installation. Forester models typically use a lug pattern of 5 × 100 mm PCD, meaning five lug nuts arranged on a 100 mm pitch circle diameter. This pattern remains consistent across most model years, facilitating aftermarket and OEM wheel fitment.\n\nOffset (ET) values for the SUBARU Forester generally range between ET45 and ET55, affecting wheel positioning in the wheel well. The correct offset maintains proper suspension geometry and clearance. Additionally, the center bore on Forester wheels is commonly 56.1 mm, matching the vehicle hub for a secure fit.\n\nRim sizes for the Forester vary depending on trim and model year but generally fall within 16 to 18 inches in diameter. Selecting the right rim size along with the specified lug pattern, offset, and center bore ensures optimal performance and safety. Detailed year-sorted specifications are provided in the wheel lug pattern catalog for SUBARU Forester models.
