Subaru Crosstrek Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Subaru Crosstrek used 5x100 mm and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 2013 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.7" to 27.7" 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 Subaru Crosstrek years and options. In this case, 145/65R20 and 145/80R17 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 Subaru Crosstrek spare tire.
