Lincoln Continental Spare Tire Sizes

The Lincoln Continental has used 5x108mm (5 x 4.25"), 5x112mm, 5x127mm (5 x 5") and 5x130mm bolt pattern variations from 1980 to 2020 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" to 28.0" tall. Using a temporary 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. Tire diameter as well as wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Lincoln Continental years and options. In this case, 145/60R20, 165/70R17 and 145/65R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
