What size lug nuts are on a Subaru XV?
On a Subaru XV, the lug nuts are typically M12 x 1.25 with a 60-degree conical seat, driven by a 19 mm socket, and torqued to about 108 Nm (80 ft-lbs). Exact sizing can vary by year, trim, and aftermarket wheels, so always verify with your vehicle’s manual or the current hardware on your car.
Standard specs you can rely on
The following details cover the common hardware found on most XV Crosstrek models with stock wheels.
- Bolt pattern: 5x100 mm
- Thread size: M12 x 1.25
- Seat type: Conical (60-degree)
- Nut drive size: 19 mm socket
- Center bore: 56.1 mm
These specifications apply to the majority of factory-installed wheels and many widely used aftermarket replacements. If your vehicle has a unique wheel package, double-check the exact lug nut requirements.
What to check if you have aftermarket wheels
Aftermarket wheels can require different lug hardware; use the factory lug nuts as a baseline and verify thread pitch, seat style, and hex size for any replacements.
- Thread pitch and size must match studs: generally M12 x 1.25 for XVs, but confirm for your setup.
- Seat style must match the wheel: most Subarus use a 60-degree conical seat, though some aftermarket wheels use other seat types.
- Hex drive size may vary with aftermarket nuts; common sizes are 19 mm, but 21 mm or other sizes are used in some kits.
When in doubt, consult the wheel manufacturer or your Subaru service advisor to ensure proper fit and safety.
Summary
In short, the Subaru XV most often uses M12 x 1.25 lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat, 5x100 bolt pattern, 56.1 mm center bore, and a 19 mm lug wrench size, torqued to about 108 Nm (80 ft-lbs). For aftermarket wheels, always verify thread pitch, seat type, and hex size with the wheel or nut supplier and follow the vehicle’s torque specification.
