Mazda Mazda6 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Mazda Mazda6 used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2003 to 2021 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.5" to 27.0" 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 Mazda Mazda6 years and options. In this case, 125/80R18 and 135/80R18 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 Mazda Mazda6 spare tire.
