1989 Subaru XT Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1989 Subaru XT GL or XT6 uses a 4x140 bolt pattern. The factory wheel measures 13x5 with a 55mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, or 15x6.5, all in square (non-staggered) fitment. These compatible sizes let you customize your look while maintaining proper handling.
Only wheels with the 4x140 bolt pattern will fit this Subaru. The hub-centric bore is 94.5mm; if your wheel's center bore exceeds this, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Avoid wheels with aggressive offsets or excessive widths, as they risk rubbing the fenders or suspension components.
Every wheel we stock for your XT bolts on securely and ships free to the lower 48 states. Browse our full inventory to find the right fitment for your classic Subaru.
