Nissan Maxima Spare Tire Sizes

The Nissan Maxima has used 4x114mm (4 x 4.5") and 5x114mm (5 x 4.5") bolt pattern variations from 1979 to 2023 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.2" to 26.7" tall. Using a temporary 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. Tire diameter as well as wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Nissan Maxima years and options. In this case, 125/70R17, 125/80R17, 165/70R17 and 145/60R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
