Acura RSX Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Acura RSX used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2002 to 2006 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.6" to 24.9" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Acura RSX years and options. In this case, a 125/80R17 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Acura RSX spare tire.
2002-2006 Acura RSX Spare Tires
This generation of the Acura RSX began in 2002 and was available through 2006. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution. The Standard and Type S models are listed individually.
There was a facelift redesign in 2005 that altered the appearance but it had no impact on the spare tire fitment specifically.
