Spare Tire Covers and Wheel Covers

How To Choose The Right Spare Tire Cover Size

Measure your spare tire's overall diameter first, because that number decides which spare tire cover fits. Universal covers are sold by tire diameter, not by vehicle. Rampage, for example, offers a Medium cover for 27-29-inch tires, a Large cover for 30-32-inch tires, and an X-Large cover for 33-35-inch tires.

Bestop lists exact dimensions and tire sizes: its Black Diamond X-Large cover measures 32 in. x 12 in. and fits 255-75R/17 or 255-70R/18 tires. The Bestop 61028-01 cover measures 28 in. x 8 in., so check your sidewall size against each listing before you order. A cover that's too small won't stretch over the tread, and one that's too large can sag.

If you've upsized your tires, your old cover may no longer fit. Our guide to the biggest tires you can put on a Jeep XJ walks through tire sizing for that platform. If you're planning a new spare to match, browse our full wheels and tires lineup.

Spare Tire Covers With A Camera Slot

If your backup camera mounts at the center of your spare, you need a spare tire cover with a camera slot. A standard cover can block the lens. The slot keeps the camera's view clear while the cover still protects the tire.

At JEGS, the Rugged Ridge 30-32 in. Spare Tire Cover with Camera Slot (part 742-12802.02) is built for this setup. It's sized for 30-32-inch tires, so measure your spare before you buy. You'll sometimes see this style called a spare tire cover with a camera hole.

Before you order, confirm where your camera sits and check that it lines up with the cover's opening. If your spare has no camera mount, a standard cover is the simpler match.

Universal Vs. Vehicle-Specific Jeep Spare Tire Covers

Choose a universal cover if you want sizing by tire diameter, or a vehicle-specific cover if you want a fit matched to your Jeep. Both styles protect your spare. The difference is how you shop for fit.

Universal covers work across vehicles as long as your tire falls within the listed diameter range. They're a flexible choice if you've changed tire sizes or own more than one vehicle with a rear-mounted spare. You only need to know one number: your tire's overall diameter.

A vehicle-specific Jeep spare tire cover is designed around a particular model and year range. Mopar Accessories offers covers for 2007-2013 Jeep Wrangler 2-Door and 4-Door models, 2012-2013 Wrangler models, and 2002-2005 Jeep Liberty models. Those covers are priced at $89.99-$94.99.

Protecting Your Spare With Tire Storage Covers

Tire storage covers help keep your spare clean and shielded from the elements between uses. An exterior-mounted spare sits exposed to sun, rain, and road grime every time you drive. A cover adds a layer between the tire and those conditions, helping keep your spare in cleaner shape until you need it.

A spare wheel cover also gives the back of your vehicle a finished look. Filter by Color, Style, and Finish to match your cover to the rest of your build. Prices vary by brand, size, and fit, so use the Price filter to shop tire covers within your budget.

Check the cover whenever you check your spare's air pressure, and replace it once it no longer sits snugly. Browse our other tire accessories to round out your setup. Then shop the tire covers on this page to find the right fit for your spare.
