Wheel Adapters for Subaru Forester
Wheel Adapters for Subaru Forester
Quick answer: Subaru Forester models from 1998 to 2018 use the 5x100 bolt pattern, and 2019 and newer Foresters use 5x114.3, also written as 5x4.5 inches. This collection covers both hubs, with adapters that let you bolt wheels in a different pattern onto your Forester's factory hub. Always verify your bolt pattern before ordering.

For 5x100 Foresters (1998-2018), this collection includes conversions to 5x100, 5x4.25 (5x108), 5x112, 5x120, 5x130, 5x5 (5x127), 5x5.5 (5x139.7), and 6x5.5 (6x139.7). For 5x114.3 Foresters (2019 and newer), available conversions include 5x4.5 (5x114.3), 4x156, 5x112, 5x130, 6x4.5 (6x114.3), 6x135, 6x5.5 (6x139.7), 8x6.5 (8x165.1), 8x170, and 8x180.
Is 5x114.3 the same as 5x4.5? Yes. 5x114.3 is the metric notation and 5x4.5 is the inch notation for the same bolt pattern, so any 5x4.5 adapter here matches a 2019 or newer Forester hub.
Do wheels from a 2014-2018 Forester fit a 2019 or newer model? No. Subaru changed the bolt pattern from 5x100 to 5x114.3 with the 2019 redesign, so wheels do not interchange between those generations without an adapter.
Should I choose a hub centric adapter? Hub centric adapters center on the Forester's hub bore for smoother operation, and we offer hub centric options for both the 5x100 and 5x114.3 patterns, including a Subaru-specific 56.1mm version. Verify your year, bolt pattern, and hub bore before ordering.
