Volvo S40 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Volvo S40 used 4x4.5" (4x114.3 mm) and 5x108 mm bolt pattern variations from 1996 to 2012 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.2" to 25.6" 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 Volvo S40 years and options. In this case, 125/80R16 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 Volvo S40 spare tire.
