Old Subarus did not come with hub centric wheels. The factory rims had huge holes in them. Old VW rims did not even have a wheel center. For these wheels, it isn't the shear strength of the bolts that holds the wheels in place but the friction of the wheel against the hubs created when torquing down the lug bolts. You need to cinch them up slowly and evenly to center the wheels.
