Lotus Esprit Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Lotus Esprit used 5x108 mm and 5x120 mm bolt pattern variations from 1982 to 2004 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.8" to 26.1" 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 Esprit years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Lotus Esprit spare tire.
