1981 Subaru GLF Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Subaru GLF uses a 4x140 bolt pattern with a 94.5mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 13x5 wheels at a 55mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5, all bolted on in square fitment across all four corners.
Only the 4x140 bolt pattern will fit your GLF, so verify any wheel's bolt circle before purchasing. Since your center bore measures 94.5mm hub-centric, use hub-centric rings on any aftermarket wheel with a larger bore to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or widths beyond the listed compatible sizes risk rubbing your fenders and suspension components, so stick to the tested options.
Every wheel we offer for your 1981 Subaru GLF is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our full selection of fitment-confirmed wheels for your classic Subaru today.
