1982 Subaru GL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1982 Subaru GL uses a 4x140 bolt pattern with a 94.5mm hub-centric center bore. The stock wheel is 13x5 with a 55mm offset. You can fit compatible sizes ranging from 13x5 and 13x5.5 up through 15x6.5, giving you flexibility to upgrade your look while maintaining proper fitment.
The 4x140 bolt pattern is unique to your vehicle, so verify any wheel you consider uses this exact pattern—no other bolt pattern will work. If you choose a wheel with a center bore larger than 94.5mm, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering on the hub. Avoid wheels with excessively wide widths or aggressive offsets, as they risk contact with your fenders and suspension components.
Every wheel we offer for your GL is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock selection to find the right upgrade for your classic Subaru.
