Polaris Slingshot Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Polaris Slingshot used a 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 2015 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 25.1" to 27.2" 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 Polaris Slingshot years and options. In this case, 125/80R17 and 135/80R18 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 Polaris Slingshot spare tire.

This generation of the Polaris Slingshot began in 2015 and is still the current model being produced. There were multiple versions manufactured in this year range and have specific spare tire and wheel solutions for each one. The Standard and 18 Inch Rear Wheel models are listed individually.
