Volkswagen Cabriolet Spare Tire Fitment Guide

The Volkswagen Cabriolet used a 4x100 mm bolt pattern for all models from 1979 to 1993 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 22.7" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicle applications.


The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Volkswagen Cabriolet years and options. In this case, a 125/80R15 temporary spare tire is the recommendation for all applications. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Volkswagen Cabriolet spare tire.
