How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
The Outback's raised ride height and AWD hardware mean unsprung mass at each corner matters more than on a comparable lowered sedan — a lighter forged wheel helps the suspension control body motion over the terrain this wagon is actually built for, without touching ground clearance.
The Outback uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 56.1mm center bore, and an 18x7.0J ET48 wheel from the factory, front and rear. Our Flush Fitment reference is an 18x8.5J at ET45, which fills the fender opening on a stock or mildly lowered Outback. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is an 18x9.0J at ET40 — past that, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.
Subaru Outback OE Wheel Specs
The 2025 Subaru Outback (Midsize Crossover Wagon) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 56.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 18x7.0J at ET48 offset, front and rear.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports the vehicle's curb weight and load capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for everyday and light off-road use
- Balances ride comfort with cargo and passenger stability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension travel and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Subaru Outback (2025) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 56.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 18x7J | ET48 | 5.89 in (150 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 18x8.5J | ET45 | 6.52 in (166 mm) | +16 mm | +22 mm |
| Maximum | 18x9J | ET40 | 6.57 in (167 mm) | +17 mm | +33 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Subaru Outback (5x114.3, 56.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 19 other Subaru entries use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 56.1 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x114.3 is used by 20.0% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1,300 of 6,503); 1.5% of those also use a 56.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 56.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 56.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 57.1 mm | 57.1 → 56.1 mm |
| 60.1 mm | 60.1 → 56.1 mm |
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 56.1 mm |
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 56.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 56.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 56.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Subaru Outback use?
The 2025 Subaru Outback uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Subaru Outback use?
The Subaru Outback uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x114.3), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Subaru Outback?
The Subaru Outback's center bore is 56.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Subaru Outback?
Factory wheels on the Subaru Outback are 18x7.0J at ET48 offset, front and rear.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Subaru Outback without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x9.0J at ET40 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Subaru Outback?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x8.5J at ET45 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Subaru Outback.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Subaru Outback?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Subaru Outback?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.52" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Subaru Outback?
The Subaru Outback runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
