Subaru Legacy II (BD, BG) Wheel Lug Patterns, Offset & Rim Size Reference
The Subaru Legacy II (BD, BG) series features specific wheel lug patterns essential for proper wheel fitment. These models typically use a 5x100 mm PCD (pitch circle diameter) bolt pattern, which defines the number of lugs and spacing for mounting wheels.\n\nOffset values (ET) for the Legacy II vary depending on wheel size and production year but generally range between ET45 and ET55. The center bore diameter is commonly 56.1 mm, ensuring proper wheel hub alignment and minimizing vibration.\n\nRim sizes for the Legacy II series include 14-inch and 15-inch diameters with various widths suitable for OEM and aftermarket wheels. Confirming the correct bolt pattern, offset, and center bore is crucial to ensure safe and optimal wheel fitment across different model years of the Legacy II.\n\nUse our year-sorted Subaru Legacy II wheel lug pattern catalog to verify exact specifications and maintain compatibility with your vehicle's suspension and braking components.
