GMC C3500 Spare Tire

The GMC C3500, a heavy-duty pickup truck from General Motors, comes equipped with a spare tire to provide a temporary solution in an unexpected tire puncture situation. Often stored under the bed or attached to the back of the truck, this spare tire is typically a full-size, non-directional tire that matches the size and specifications of the truck's regular tires. The common size for a GMC C3500 spare tire is 215/85R16, which is suitable for the vehicle's weight and size. Opting for a full-sized spare instead of a smaller 'donut' means that in the event of a flat, the spare will offer similar performance and safety levels as the standard tires, ensuring stability and control of the truck isn't compromised.

GMC C3500 models manufactured from 1990 to 2000 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 29.3" to 30.5", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific GMC C3500 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some GMC C3500 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 28.4" to 31.4". Some C3500 models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare.
