Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern | All Model Years

2026 subaru impreza

When you’re shopping for wheels—whether it’s a winter setup, a second set for road trips, or a style upgrade—the bolt pattern is the first “must match” spec. Get it wrong, and the wheel simply won’t mount. Here at Conley Subaru, we help Impreza owners dial in fitment every day, and the good news is that the Impreza keeps things pretty straightforward across its history: most model years use a 5×100 bolt pattern, and the newest generation moved to 5×114.3. Below is a complete, model-year-by-model-year guide (grouped where specs match), starting with the most recent years.

Present–2024 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×114.3 (5×4.5″)

The 2024 model year marks the mainstream Impreza changeover to 5×114.3, and that same fitment carries through 2025.

What this means in the real world:

  • Wheel shopping gets easier because 5×114.3 is a very common 5-lug pattern across many brands.

  • If you’re reusing older Subaru wheels you already own, confirm the bolt pattern before you plan a swap—many older Subaru compact wheels are 5×100.

2023–2017 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×100

For 2017 through 2023, Impreza models use a 5×100 bolt pattern.

This is the range where owners most often run into confusion, because the “newer” Imprezas feel modern, but they’re still in the 5×100 era. If you’re upgrading wheels on a 2017–2023 Impreza, you want 5×100 wheels—period.

Compatibility tip from the service-lane perspective: if you see a great deal on a used wheel set online, ask the seller for a photo of the back of the wheel or the wheel’s spec stamp, then verify the pattern is listed as 5×100. It’s one of the easiest ways to avoid a “these don’t fit” surprise.

2016–2012 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×100

The 2012–2016 Impreza also uses 5×100.

If you’re building a winter setup for a 2012–2016 Impreza, you’ll typically have plenty of affordable options because 5×100 wheels were extremely common in the Subaru world for many years.

2011–2008 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×100

For 2008–2011, the Impreza continues with a 5×100 bolt pattern.

This is a sweet spot for used OEM wheel shopping: there are a lot of factory Subaru wheels out there in 5×100, and many owners prefer OEM for durability and easy balancing.

2007–2002 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×100

Model years 2002 through 2007 also use the 5×100 pattern.

If you’re restoring or refreshing an older Impreza, keep in mind that “bolt pattern matches” doesn’t automatically mean “perfect fit.” Wheel width, offset, and brake clearance still matter. But the bolt pattern itself stays consistent at 5×100 across this stretch.

2001–1993 Subaru Impreza Bolt Pattern

Bolt pattern: 5×100

For the earliest U.S. Impreza model years, you’re still looking at 5×100.

Older Impreza wheel buying tip: because age and prior repairs can complicate things, we always suggest physically verifying the bolt pattern on the car (or confirming via a trusted fitment source) before you purchase a used set. It only takes one mismatch to turn a “great deal” into a headache.

What “5×100” and “5×114.3” Actually Mean

Bolt pattern is written as:

  • number of lugs x distance across the lug circle (in millimeters)

So:

  • 5×100 means five lug holes on a 100 mm circle

  • 5×114.3 means five lug holes on a 114.3 mm circle

Even though both are “5-lug,” they’re not close enough to interchange—those circles are different sizes, and the studs won’t line up. (That’s why 2024+ wheels won’t bolt onto a 2023 and older Impreza, and vice versa.)

Conclusion

If you only remember one thing, make it this: most Subaru Impreza model years use 5×100, but the newest generation (2024 and newer, including 2026) uses 5×114.3.

If you’d like, tell us your Impreza’s model year and whether you’re shopping for winter wheels or a style upgrade, and we can help you sanity-check the bolt pattern and narrow down options that fit the way they should—no guesswork.
