Lotus Elise Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lotus Elise used a 4x100 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2001 to 2022 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.6" to 25.0" 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 Lotus Elise years and options. In this case, a 125/70R17 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 Lotus Elise spare tire.
2001-2022 Lotus Elise Spare Tires
This generation of the Lotus Elise began in 2001 and was available through 2022. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution.
There was a facelift redesign in 2011 that updated the styling, but the spare requirements stayed the same.
