Honda CR-V Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Honda CR-V used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 1997 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" 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 Honda CR-V years and options. In this case, 125/80R18, 135/80R18, 145/65R20, 155/85R18 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 Honda CR-V spare tire.
