Mazda RX-7 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Mazda RX-7 used 4x110 mm, 4x4.5" (4x114.3 mm) and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1979 to 2002 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.2" to 24.9" 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 RX-7 years and options. In this case, 125/80R15, 125/80R16 and 125/80R17 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 Mazda RX-7 spare tire.
