1980 Subaru GL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1980 Subaru GL rolls on a 4x140 bolt pattern with a 94.5mm hub-centric center bore. The factory setup is a 13x5 wheel at 55mm offset. You can upgrade to 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5 for a more aggressive stance while maintaining square fitment across all four corners.
The 4x140 bolt pattern is unique to your Subaru, so verify any wheel you're considering carries this spec—no other pattern will work. Since our wheels ship hub-centric, they'll fit your bore perfectly; if a wheel's center bore runs larger than 94.5mm, we'll send hub-centric rings to ensure a proper, vibration-free fit. Avoid wheels with offsets that are too aggressive, as they risk rubbing against your fenders or suspension components.
Every wheel we offer for your GL has been verified to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock quality options that fit your fitment perfectly, so you can upgrade with confidence and enjoy a better look on the road.
