Nissan GT-R Spare Tire

The Nissan GT-R is known for its advanced and high-performing features, but it's worth noting that its original configuration does not include a traditional spare tire due to its high-performance nature and lack of space due to the design and configuration of the vehicle. Instead of a spare tire, the GT-R comes with a puncture repair kit to temporarily seal minor punctures, allowing the driver to reach a service station or repair shop. However, if a spare tire is necessary, it's recommended to use the same type and size as the original tires. For most GT-R models, the optimal tire size is 255/40ZRF20 for the front wheels, and 285/35ZRF20 for the rear wheels. Having the same size and type of spare tire ensures optimal performance and safety of the vehicle. But, due to the GT-R's unique tire and wheel setup, many owners conduct thorough research or consult with a professional before purchasing an additional spare.

Nissan GT-R models manufactured from 2009 to 2024 have tires with overall diameter of 28", 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 Nissan GT-R years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Nissan GT-R vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 27.2" to 28.8". Some GT-R models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Nissan GT-R spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
