Lexus GS Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lexus GS used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 1993 to 2020 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.3" to 26.4" 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 Lexus GS years and options. In this case, 145/80R17 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 Lexus GS spare tire.
2013-2020 Lexus GS Spare Tires
This generation of the Lexus GS began in 2013 and was available through 2020. There were multiple versions manufactured in this year range and have specific spare tire and wheel solutions for each one. The Standard and F Sport models are listed individually. The AWD option does not change the recommended spare tire. (Listings include GS 200t, GS 300, GS 350, GS 450h etc.)
There was a facelift redesign in 2016 that changed the appearance, but it does not affect the spare tire recommendation.
