Mazda CX-3 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Mazda CX-3 used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2016 to 2021 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.2" to 26.5" 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 Mazda CX-3 years and options. In this case, a 125/80R18 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 Mazda CX-3 spare tire.
2016-2021 Mazda CX-3 Spare Tires
