1985 Subaru GL Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1985 Subaru GL comes factory with 13x5 wheels at a 55mm offset on a 4x140 bolt pattern. You can upgrade to larger compatible sizes including 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, and 15x6.5 wheels. The car runs the same wheel size front and rear, so choose a square setup rather than staggered.
Pay attention to the 4x140 bolt pattern—it's the only pattern that will fit your GL, so verify any wheel you're considering carries this specification. Your hub has a 94.5mm center bore, so use hub-centric rings if your wheels have a larger bore to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we stock for your 1985 Subaru GL is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock inventory to find the perfect upgrade for your classic Subaru.
