1988 Subaru DL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Subaru DL uses a 4x140 bolt pattern with a 94.5mm center bore. The stock wheel is 13x4.5 with a 55mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths across our compatible range, which includes 13-inch, 14-inch, and 15-inch options, all in non-staggered fitment.
The 4x140 bolt pattern is specific to your vehicle, so verify this measurement before ordering. Because your hub has a 94.5mm center bore, use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's bore exceeds that diameter. Aggressive offsets or extra-wide wheels risk rubbing your fenders and suspension components, so stay within the sizes listed here to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we list bolts directly to your DL and ships free across the lower 48 states. Browse our full catalog of in-stock options in your 4x140 fitment to find the look that suits your classic Subaru.
