1987 Subaru XT Wheels & Rims
Shop Wheels for 1987 Subaru XT
The 1987 Subaru XT DL, GL, GL-10, and GL-10 Turbo models all share the same wheel fitment, built around a 4x140 bolt pattern and 94.5mm center bore. The factory setup runs 13x5 wheels with a 55mm offset, establishing the baseline for compatibility across all compatible sizes.
Your XT can accommodate a range of upgrade options, from modest 13-inch increases to more aggressive 15-inch choices. Every wheel we offer is verified to bolt on securely, and we ship free to the lower 48 states, making it simple to transform your classic Subaru's appearance and performance.
1987 Subaru XT Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1987 Subaru XT comes fitted with thirteen-inch five-inch wheels at fifty-five millimeters offset on a four by one-forty bolt pattern. You can upgrade to thirteen by five-point-five, fourteen by five-point-five, fourteen by six, fifteen by six, or fifteen by six-point-five inches while maintaining compatibility. Since the XT isn't staggered, you can run matching sizes all around for a clean, balanced look.
Your wheels must have the four by one-forty bolt pattern to fit this XT—no other pattern will work. The hub-centric bore measures ninety-four point five millimeters; if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating and balance. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk contact with the fenders and suspension components, so stick to the compatible sizes listed to avoid clearance problems.
Every wheel we offer for your 1987 XT is verified to bolt on safely and ships free across the lower forty-eight states. Browse our selection of quality options that fit your classic Subaru today.
