Difference

A 125/70R18 spare size is within the accepted tolerance range for temporary use with all OEM tire diameters for this Volkswagen generation.
The overall tire height (not the wheel size) is the consideration for the spare tire fitment. The 18" spare wheel is then chosen for proper fitment and not interfere with the brake or suspension system. This is regardless of the OEM wheel option that came on the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
I've come across Golf vehicles from this range that differ from mine, will this fit? Yes. With 2025 facelift, the spare tire fitment did not change. As long as you've selected your correct Golf then this is the right spare.
Note: This compact spare tire is intended only to be used temporarily in the event of a flat tire. This spare permits drivers to continue their travels to their destination or to a service provider to repair or replace the vehicle’s damaged tire.
