Toyota MR2 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Toyota MR2 used 4x100 mm and 5x4.5" (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern variations from 1984 to 2006 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.7" to 23.9" 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 Toyota MR2 years and options. In this case, 125/80R15 and 125/70R17 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 Toyota MR2 spare tire.
