BMW i3 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The BMW i3 used a 5x112 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2014 to 2022 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.3" to 27.7" 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 BMW i3 years and options. In this case, a 145/60R20 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 BMW i3 spare tire.
2014-2022 BMW i3 Spare Tires
This generation of the BMW i3 began in 2014 and was available through 2022. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution including S versions.
Although there was a facelift redesign introduced in 2018, the spare tire requirements remained the same.
