Splash

The best steering wheel hub adapters for a Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, or 2008-2014 Subaru WRX are the Splash adapters in this collection, in standard and short versions for the FR-S / BRZ / 86 and a short version for the WRX. A hub adapter is the part that makes an aftermarket steering wheel possible, so choose the version listed for your exact car and check your year and model before ordering.

A hub adapter bolts to your steering column and provides the bolt pattern an aftermarket wheel mounts to. The short version brings the wheel closer to the stock position, which matters when a quick release is also planned, because each added piece moves the wheel toward the driver. Fitment is column-specific, so the FR-S / BRZ / 86 and WRX adapters here are not interchangeable.

Swapping a wheel also affects the factory airbag, horn, and cruise functions, so plan the whole job first. Review the Steering Wheels collection alongside these hubs, and read how a carbon fiber steering wheel elevates your WRX.

Brands in this collection

Splash is the sole brand sampled here, represented by three hub adapters: a standard and a short adapter for the 2013-2016 Scion FR-S, 2013+ Subaru BRZ, and 2017+ Toyota 86, plus a short adapter for the 2008-2014 WRX. Each adapter is listed for a specific column rather than sold as a universal fit. Choose standard or short based on whether you also plan a quick release.

NRG Innovations is the name most builders pair with a hub like this, because its range here covers steering wheels and quick-release hardware that sit downstream of the adapter. Matching hub, release, and wheel as a system avoids bolt-pattern surprises.

Sparco brings a motorsport background to the wheel side of the swap, with racing wheels, seats, and harnesses in its collection here. A Sparco wheel on a Splash hub suits a dual-purpose street and track car. Compare wheel diameter and dish depth carefully.

JDMuscle custom steering wheels are the alternative route if you want a reshaped, car-specific wheel for the 2013+ BRZ / 86 or a WRX instead of a universal racing wheel. Decide which route you want before buying parts. Finishing touches live in Interior Trim and Accessories and carbon fiber steering wheels.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a hub adapter to fit an aftermarket steering wheel?

Yes. The adapter bolts to the column, gives the aftermarket wheel its mounting pattern, and must match your car — check your year and model.

Should I choose the short or the standard Splash hub?

Choose the short hub if you also plan a quick release or want the wheel closer to the stock position. Choose the standard hub for a simpler fixed-wheel install. Both versions are listed for the FR-S / BRZ / 86 here.

Will I lose my factory airbag with a wheel swap?

An aftermarket racing wheel typically replaces the factory wheel and its airbag — a serious safety and legality consideration for a street car. Research local rules before ordering.

Does the WRX hub fit my FR-S, BRZ, or 86?

No. The WRX 2008-2014 short adapter and the FR-S / BRZ / 86 adapters are separate listings for different columns. Order the adapter listed for your exact car.
