GMC Safari Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The GMC Safari used 5x5" (5x127 mm) and 6x5.5" (6x139.7 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1985 to 2005 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.6" to 27.9" 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 GMC Safari years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct GMC Safari spare tire.
