How to verify bolt pattern for your Subaru Impreza
To confirm bolt pattern and fit for your specific car, use one of these methods.
- Check the vehicle's door jamb placard or owner's manual for wheel specifications (PCD, center bore).
- If needed, measure the bolt circle by counting lug holes and measuring the diameter across the bolt holes to confirm 5x100.
- Measure the wheel center bore and compare to the hub bore of your car (56.1 mm). If the wheel bore is larger, a hub-centric ring may be required; if smaller, it won’t fit.
- Consult a dealer or tire/wheel specialist with your VIN to confirm exact fitment for your trim and year.
Following these steps helps ensure you select wheels that fit safely and correctly.
