Buick Skyhawk Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Buick Skyhawk used a 5x100 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1982 to 1989 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.7" to 24.2" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicle applications.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Buick Skyhawk years and options. In this case, a 125/70R17 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 Buick Skyhawk spare tire.
1982-1989 Buick Skyhawk Spare Tires
This generation of the Buick Skyhawk began in 1982 and was available through 1989. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution. The Standard models include Sport and T-Type versions and the SE models are listed individually.
There was a facelift redesign in 1986 that changed the look of the car, but it did not have a specific impact on the spare tire size.
