Note 10: Owner-confirmed inherited outside diameter, score 5; The full U.S. SJ Forester body spans MY2014–2018. Subaru of America explicitly introduces an updated steering wheel for all MY2017 models, so retain the earlier original-wheel phase MY2014–2016 and later original-wheel phase MY2017–2018. The committed exact MY2017 owner bridge supplies 375 mm at inherited score 5 within the later phase; carry only to MY2018. No numeric change is inferred from the design event. The 370 mm D-shaped Levorg replacement remains outside the accepted original Forester claim. Return to measurement

Note 11: Owner-confirmed inherited outside diameter, score5. Donor: Original SJG A-type Forester factory wheel 375 mm in Minkara; accepted U.S. SJ MY2014–2016 application. Exclude the 370 mm D-shaped Levorg replacement described by the same owner. Target: 2017 U.S. Forester original updated-wheel period MY2017–2018. Return to measurement

Note 14: Valid earlier-wheel evidence retained within current phase. Return to measurement

Note 15: Supported SH base-wheel representative, 370 mm; Medium. Existing source grade 8 is retained. This is the first explicit native target assessment, not a new measurement or a source-confidence upgrade. Return to measurement

Data sources and methodology

SteeringWheelSize.com compiles steering wheel size data from model-year references, manufacturer materials, parts listings, and marketplace sources. The table on this page presents the measurements as diameter x grip circumference.

Trim rows and size classifications are shown when that information is available for the Subaru Forester. Always verify fitment on the wheel before driving with an installed cover.
