Kia Carnival Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Kia Carnival used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2021 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 29.0" 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 Kia Carnival years and options. In this case, a 155/90R18 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 Kia Carnival spare tire.
2021-2026 Kia Carnival Spare Tires
This generation of the Kia Carnival began in 2021 and is still the current model being produced. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution including Hybrid versions.
There was a facelift redesign in 2025 that changed the appearance, but it does not affect the spare tire recommendation.
