Toyota RAV4 spare tire covers
Custom spare tire covers for every Toyota RAV4 generation — XA10 (1994–2000), XA20 (2001–2005), XA30 (2006–2012), XA40 (2013–2018), XA50 (2019–present). Free backup-camera cutout, free custom design, free worldwide shipping. Sized for the early rear-mounted external spare on XA10/XA20/XA30, and the underfloor spare on XA40 / XA50.
Built for every RAV4 — rear-mount-spare classic to underfloor modern
The RAV4 invented the compact crossover when it launched in 1994 — small SUV, four doors, unibody, AWD optional. The first three generations (XA10 through XA30) carried the spare on a rear tailgate carrier — the iconic look. From XA40 onward Toyota moved the spare under the floor. We size to whichever generation you have.
- RAV4 XA10 (1994–2000) — first-gen, the original. 3- and 5-door body. Stock 215/70R16 mounted on rear tailgate carrier with body-color cover.
- RAV4 XA20 (2001–2005) — second-gen. 5-door only by 2005 in most markets. Stock 215/70R16 rear-mounted carrier.
- RAV4 XA30 (2006–2012) — third-gen. Larger body. Stock 225/65R17 (most trims) rear-mounted carrier.
- RAV4 XA40 (2013–2018) — fourth-gen. Spare moved underfloor. Stock 225/65R17 (LE / XLE) or 235/55R18 (Limited).
- RAV4 XA50 (2019–present) — current generation. Underfloor temporary spare on most trims. Stock 225/65R17 (LE) to 235/55R19 (Limited / Adventure).
- RAV4 Hybrid / Prime / TRD Off-Road / Adventure / Trail — trim variations. Most use the same underfloor temporary spare or compact donut.
Most modern RAV4 owners want the cover for the underfloor temporary spare — keeps it clean for emergencies, looks intentional. Classic XA10/XA20/XA30 owners with rear-mounted spares need a fitted external cover (the rare and beloved "original" RAV4 look).
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
XA40 and XA50 RAV4s have factory backup cameras integrated into the tailgate. Most owners don't need a camera hole because the spare is stowed under the floor. Classic XA10/XA20/XA30 owners with rear-mounted spares may have retrofitted cameras — send us the diameter and offset.
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: We've matched Magnetic Gray Adventure, Ruby Flare Pearl Limited, Galactic Aqua TRD Off-Road, and the rare classic XA10 / XA20 colors (Carmine Red, Sea Mist Pearl). Send the code or a clear photo.
How the cover attaches to your RAV4's spare
Classic XA10/XA20/XA30 RAV4s carry the spare on the rear tailgate's swing-out carrier (with a body-color steel cover). Modern XA40/XA50 stow the spare under the cargo floor. Cover wraps the tire either way:
- 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.
Classic RAV4 owners with the body-color steel cover: our soft cover sits over the tire inside the steel cover. Sized to the tire (215/70R16), not the steel cover.
