Ford Flex Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Ford Flex used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2009 to 2019 along with tire diameters ranging from 28.1" to 29.2" 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 Ford Flex years and options. In this case, 145/85R18 and 155/90R18 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 Ford Flex spare tire.
2009-2019 Ford Flex Spare Tires
This generation of the Ford Flex began in 2009 and was available through 2019. There were multiple versions manufactured in this year range and have specific spare tire and wheel solutions for each one. The Standard and 17 Inch Wheel models are listed individually.
There was a facelift redesign in 2013 that altered the appearance but it had no impact on the spare tire fitment specifically.
