Lexus RC Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lexus RC used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2015 to 2025 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" 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 RC years and options. In this case, a 125/80R18 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 Lexus RC spare tire.
2015-2025 Lexus RC Spare Tires
This generation of the Lexus RC began in 2015 and was available through 2025. All the models (RC 200t, RC 300, RC 350, etc.) for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution including AWD versions. The Standard and F Sport models are listed individually.
There was a facelift redesign in 2019 that updated the styling, but the spare requirements stayed the same.
