Nissan Pathfinder Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Nissan Pathfinder used 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm), 6x4.5" (6x114.3 mm) and 6x5.5" (6x139.7 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1987 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 27.7" 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 Pathfinder years and options. In this case, Full-Size, 165/90R19, 175/80R19 and 175/70R20 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 Nissan Pathfinder spare tire.
