As the Crosstrek has evolved across generations, Subaru has offered different wheel/tire packages. The following overview covers typical factory sizes you are likely to encounter on current models, with notes about variations by trim and market.
Tire sizes by wheel size
The following outlines the standard tire sizes associated with the Crosstrek's common wheel configurations.
- 17-inch wheel configuration — standard tire size 225/60R17 (all-season). This size is typical on base and mid-range trims that roll on 17-inch wheels.

Regional variations
Outside some markets, tire sizing may differ due to local suppliers, climate, or regulations. Always confirm with a local dealer or Subaru's official specifications for your country.
How to verify your Crosstrek's exact stock tire size
Use these steps to confirm the correct factory tire size for your Crosstrek:
- Check the tire placard on the driver's door jamb for the recommended sizes.
- Consult the owner's manual or the official Subaru spec sheet for your model year and trim.
- Inspect the sidewall of the current tires; the size (for example, 225/60R17 or 225/55R18) is printed on the sidewall and should match your wheel size.
If in doubt, contact a Subaru dealer or a tire professional to ensure you’re using the correct stock size and load rating for your Crosstrek.
