Audi S3 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Audi S3 used a 5x112 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2014 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.1" to 25.5" 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 S3 years and options. In this case, a 125/70R18 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 Audi S3 spare tire.
