Honda Element Spare Tires
The Honda Element used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2003 to 2011 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.7" 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 Honda Element years and options. In this case, a 145/85R18 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Honda Element spare tire.
