Tesla Model 3 Spare Tire Sizes

The Tesla Model 3 has used a 5x114mm (5 x 4.5") bolt pattern for all models from 2017 to 2023 along with tire diameters ranging from 26.3" to 26.5" 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 Tesla Model 3 years and options. In this case, 165/70R17 and 145/60R20 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
