2012 Subaru Forester Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2012 Subaru Forester uses a 5x100 bolt pattern and wears 16x6.5 wheels at a 48mm offset from the factory. You can step up to 17-inch or 18-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 6.5 to 8 inches depending on size. Since this Forester is not staggered, front and rear fitment are identical—pick whatever setup you prefer without worrying about directional constraints.
Keep in mind that 5x100 is the only bolt pattern that fits; wheels with different patterns won't work. Your hub has a 56.1mm center bore, so use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's bore exceeds that measurement. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels can risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so stay within the compatible sizes we list to ensure safe clearance.
Every wheel you'll find here is verified to bolt straight onto your Forester and ships free across the lower 48 states. We stock brands like Enkei, Work Wheels, Aodhan, and Heritage Wheel—all proven fits for your model.
