Chevrolet Malibu Spare Tires

The Chevrolet Malibu used 5x110 mm, 5x115 mm and 5x120 mm bolt pattern variations from 1997 to 2024 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.2" to 27.3" 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 Chevrolet Malibu years and options. In this case, 125/80R17, 125/80R18, 145/60R20 and 165/70R17 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 Chevrolet Malibu spare tire.
