Volkswagen Beetle Spare Tires

The Volkswagen Beetle used 4x130 mm, 5x100 mm, 5x112 mm and 5x205 mm bolt pattern variations from 1946 to 2019 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.9" to 26.4" 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 Volkswagen Beetle years and options. In this case, 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 Volkswagen Beetle spare tire.
