View All 2008 Subaru Forester Wheels

Your 2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT—whether you're driving the standard 2.5 XT, Sports 2.5 XT, X L.L. Bean Edition, or XT Limited—rolls on a 5x100 bolt pattern with 16-inch wheels from the factory. Every wheel we offer is verified to bolt on perfectly to your fitment and ships free throughout the lower 48 states.

Our inventory spans trusted brands like Work Wheels, Enkei, Motegi Racing, and Aodhan, giving you options from 16 to 19 inches in diameter. Whether you want to maintain your stock 16x6.5 setup or upgrade to larger sizes, we've got the selection and expertise to help you find your perfect wheel.

2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid

Your 2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT fastens wheels with a 5x100 bolt pattern. The factory setup runs 16x6.5 with a 48-millimeter offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes—17-inch and 18-inch diameters are all viable—while staying within widths from 6.5 to 8 inches. Since this model uses a square, non-staggered setup, any compatible size works uniformly across all four corners.

The 5x100 bolt pattern is your only option; no other pattern will fit safely. All ThreePiece wheels ship with hub-centric rings when needed to match your 56.1-millimeter center bore. Aggressive offsets that push wheels too far outboard or inboard risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stick to the sizes listed here to keep everything trouble-free.

Every wheel we offer for your Forester bolts on directly and ships free to the lower 48 states. Our current stock includes Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, F1R, and other trusted brands—all pre-verified for your exact fitment.

2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT Wheel Fitment Specifications

The 5x100 bolt pattern determines which wheels physically bolt onto your truck, while the 56.1mm center bore ensures a hub-centric fit. The factory equips this truck with 16x6.5 wheels at a +48 offset.
