Volkswagen Rabbit Spare Tires

The Volkswagen Rabbit used 4x100 mm and 5x112 mm bolt pattern variations from 1975 to 2009 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 25.0" 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 Rabbit years and options. In this case, 125/80R15 and 125/80R17 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 Rabbit spare tire.
