Nissan Sentra Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Nissan Sentra used 4x100 mm, 4x4.5" (4x114.3 mm), 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) and mm bolt pattern variations from 1982 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 25.7" 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 Sentra years and options. In this case, 125/80R15, 125/80R16, 135/70R16, 135/70R17, 125/80R17 and 125/80R18 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 Nissan Sentra spare tire.
