Shop Wheels for 1985 Subaru XT

1985 Subaru XT Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1985 Subaru XT uses a 4x140 bolt pattern and comes stock with 13x5 wheels at a 55-millimeter offset. You can step up to larger compatible sizes including 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, and 15x6.5 wheels, all of which will bolt on properly. Since this model runs a square setup, you have the flexibility to choose wheels in any of these dimensions without worrying about staggered fitment constraints.
The critical detail here is that only the 4x140 bolt pattern will work on your XT—no other pattern fits. Because your hub has a 94.5-millimeter center bore, use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore measures larger, which ensures a proper fit and protects your wheels during driving. Wider or more aggressive offsets than stock risk contact with your fenders and suspension, so verify offset specifications before ordering to avoid clearance problems.
Every wheel we stock for your XT is verified to fit and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We carry a full range of brands that match your 4x140 fitment, so you can explore classic and modern options with confidence.
