Built for the X-90 — the cult-oddball Suzuki
The Suzuki X-90 is one of the strangest SUVs ever sold — 2 seats, T-top removable roof panels, a trunk instead of a hatch, and the Sidekick / Vitara's 4WD chassis underneath. Sold 1996–1998 only. Production was so brief and the styling so divisive that surviving X-90s are now collector cult-classics. Stock spare on the rear swing-out carrier.
- X-90 (1996–1998) — 1.6L 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 2-seat T-top SUV-coupe. Stock 195/75R15.
- X-90 4WD trim — the more-collected variant.
- X-90 with original T-top panels — survival rate is low; intact panel sets are now rare.
X-90 owners are some of the most loyal weird-car enthusiasts. We make plenty of covers for X-90 collectors and oddball-Suzuki appreciators.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
X-90 came before factory backup cameras. Owners who add one retrofit a wireless camera onto the spare carrier.
To add it, select the "with camera hole" option at checkout. We cut the hole during production — no special order, no surcharge, no production delay.

Cleaning note: Pressure washing is not recommended for any Wheel Shell cover, regardless of material. Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Pressure washing can damage the printed surface and shorten cover lifespan.
Color matching note: Matte PU Leather and Marine Grade Vinyl reproduce factory matte black most accurately. Glossy PVC and Polyester read as deep charcoal under direct sun. For OEM paint-match, send your paint code at checkout — we calibrate the print and send a proof before production.
Color matching: Send the code or photo.
How the cover attaches to your X-90's spare
X-90 carries the spare on the rear swing-out carrier. Cover wraps the tire:
- Elastic band (PU Leather, PVC): Stretches over the tire and grips behind the tread for a snug, factory-style fit.
- Drawstring cord (Polyester, Marine Grade Vinyl, Marine Grade Vinyl Lux): Wraps over the tire and tightens with a drawcord. Adjustable for any spare diameter.
Aftermarket carriers don't change fitment.
