1988 Subaru RX Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Subaru RX Turbo bolts on 4x140 with a 94.5mm hub bore. The stock setup runs 13x5.5 at a 55mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters—14-inch and 15-inch wheels both fit—while staying within compatible widths of 5 to 6.5 inches. Since this vehicle runs the same wheel on all four corners, you'll choose your size once and apply it across the board.
Keep in mind that only the 4x140 bolt pattern will work on your RX; any other pattern won't fit. Use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's bore exceeds 94.5mm to ensure a proper fit against the hub. Aggressive offsets or widths beyond what's listed risk contact with the fender and suspension components, so stick to the compatible sizes we've verified for your application.
Every wheel in our fitment database for your RX is guaranteed to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states.
