Land Rover Defender Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Land Rover Defender used 5x120 mm and 5x6.5" (5x165.1 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1990 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 31.6" to 32.1" 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 Land Rover Defender years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Land Rover Defender spare tire.
