Honda Civic Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Honda Civic used 4x100 mm, 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) and 5x120 mm bolt pattern variations from 1980 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 25.8" 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 Civic years and options. In this case, 125/80R15, 135/70R16, 125/80R16, 125/80R17, 125/70R18 and 125/80R18 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 Honda Civic spare tire.
