1988 Subaru XT Wheels & Rims
Shop Wheels for 1988 Subaru XT
The 1988 Subaru XT DL, GL, and XT6 rolled off the line with thirteen-inch wheels, and we've got plenty of fresh options to keep your coupe rolling. Every wheel we offer for your XT is verified to bolt right on, and we ship free to the lower 48 states. Your factory setup used a 4x140 bolt pattern with a 94.5mm center bore, specs we keep in mind when sourcing compatible fitments for your build.
Whether you're sticking with thirteen-inch diameter or stepping up to fourteen or fifteen-inch wheels, ThreePiece.us has the range your XT deserves. We understand that upgrading from stock isn't just about aesthetics—it's about finding the right fit, which is why we guarantee every wheel will work with your vehicle's unique specifications and mounting requirements.
1988 Subaru XT Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Subaru XT mounts wheels on a 4x140 bolt pattern. The factory setup runs 13x5 at a 55 offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths while staying compatible: 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5 all bolt right on. Since this model uses the same fitment across DL, GL, and XT6 trims, any wheel in our catalog for this pattern works universally.
Keep in mind that only the 4x140 bolt pattern will fit—no other pattern is compatible with your Subaru. The hub-centric bore is 94.5mm, so if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, you'll need hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Moving to wider wheels or more aggressive offsets can increase the risk of rubbing against fenders or suspension components, so verify your exact fitment choice before ordering.
Every wheel we offer for the 1988 Subaru XT bolts on securely and ships free to the lower 48 states. Browse our complete inventory of 4x140 options to find your perfect setup today.
