Volkswagen Rabbit Spare Tire Sizes

The Volkswagen Rabbit has used 4x100mm and 5x112mm bolt pattern variations from 1975 to 2009 along with tire diameters ranging from 22.6" to 25.0" 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 Rabbit years and options. In this case, 125/70R16 and 125/80R17 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
