Dodge Caliber Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Dodge Caliber used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2007 to 2012 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" 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 Dodge Caliber years and options. In this case, 145/60R20 and 135/80R18 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 Dodge Caliber spare tire.
