1986 Subaru DL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 Subaru DL uses a 4x140 bolt pattern and came from the factory on 13x4.5 wheels with a 55-millimeter offset. You can safely upgrade to 13x5, 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5 wheels, all of which bolt on directly without modifications or adapters needed.
Only the 4x140 bolt pattern will fit your DL—no other patterns work on this vehicle. The hub-centric bore measures 94.5 millimeters; if your new wheel has a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to maintain proper centering. Wider wheels or more aggressive offsets than stock risk contact with the fender or suspension, so verify fitment before ordering.
Every wheel we stock for your 1986 Subaru DL is verified to fit and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our full selection to find the right style for your build.
