What size are the lug nuts on a crosstrek?

The standard lug nuts for most Subaru Crosstrek models are M12 x 1.25 with a conical seating on a 5x100 bolt pattern.


The Crosstrek lineup has spanned from 2013 to the present, and while the lug-nut specification is largely consistent, some trims or aftermarket wheel packages can introduce variation. To be sure, check your owner's manual, the door-jamb placard, or verify with the dealer if you’re using non-stock wheels.


Typical lug nut specifications


Below are the specs you’re most likely to encounter on Crosstrek vehicles with stock wheels.



  • M12 x 1.25 thread size (metric lug nuts)

  • Conical (60-degree) seat

  • 5x100 bolt pattern

  • Five lug nuts per wheel


In practice, these specifications cover the vast majority of Crosstrek models with OEM wheels. If you’re using aftermarket wheels or a non-standard tire/wheel setup, verify the lug-nut size with the wheel manufacturer or a Subaru dealer.


Aftermarket wheels and variations


Some aftermarket wheels or special editions may require different lug-nut sizes, seats, or thread pitches. Always ensure the lug nut size matches the wheel’s hub bore, seat type, and overall fit to maintain proper torque and safety.


How to confirm the exact size for your Crosstrek


To verify the exact lug-nut size for your specific vehicle, follow these steps:



  1. Consult the owner's manual or the wheel/tire section of your Crosstrek’s documentation for lug-nut specifications.

  2. Check the driver’s door jamb placard or the wheel labeling for torque and lug information; some vehicles list lug specs there.

  3. If you have aftermarket wheels, cross-check the wheel manufacturer’s requirements or contact a Subaru dealer with your year, trim, and wheel part number.


These steps help ensure you use the correct lug nuts for your exact Crosstrek configuration.


Summary


For most Crosstrek models, lug nuts are M12 x 1.25 with a conical seat on a 5x100 bolt pattern, with five lug nuts per wheel. Always verify the exact size for your year, trim, and wheel package, especially when upgrading wheels or tires.
