Lincoln MKZ Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lincoln MKZ used 5x108 mm and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 2006 to 2020 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.9" to 26.7" 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 MKZ years and options. In this case, 125/80R18 and 145/80R17 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 MKZ spare tire.
