Volkswagen Passat Spare Tire Sizes
The Volkswagen Passat has used 4x100mm, 5x100mm and 5x112mm bolt pattern variations from 1990 to 2021 along with tire diameters ranging from 23.2" to 26.4" 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 Volkswagen Passat years and options. In this case, 125/70R16, 125/70R17, 125/80R17 and 165/70R17 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
