Lincoln Continental Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lincoln Continental used 5x108 mm, 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) and 5x5" (5x127 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1980 to 2020 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" to 28.0" 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 Lincoln Continental years and options. In this case, 135/80R18, 145/60R20, 145/80R17 and 145/65R20 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 Lincoln Continental spare tire.
