Jeep Cherokee Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Jeep Cherokee used 5x110 mm, 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) and 5x127 mm bolt pattern variations from 1984 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.1" to 29.5" 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 Jeep Cherokee years and options. In this case, Full-Size, 145/85R18, 155/85R18, 165/90R17 and 175/70R20 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 Jeep Cherokee spare tire.
