Nissan Frontier Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Nissan Frontier used 6x4.5" (6x114.3 mm) and 6x5.5" (6x139.7 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1998 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.5" to 31.6" 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 Nissan Frontier 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 Nissan Frontier spare tire.
