Audi R8 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Audi R8 used a 5x112 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2007 to 2023 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.4" to 27.2" 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 Audi R8 years and options. In this case, 125/70R19 and 145/60R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Audi R8 spare tire.
