Built for every Tacoma generation — 1st-gen 22RE through 4th-gen i-FORCE MAX
The Tacoma is the most-respected mid-size pickup in the US for over thirty years. The 22RE / 22R-E inline-fours of the first-gen, the 1GR-FE V6 of the second-gen, the 2GR-FKS V6 of the third-gen, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid of the fourth-gen — all behind body-on-frame chassis with underbody-mounted spares. We size to whatever your Tacoma carries.
- Tacoma 1st-gen (1995–2004) — original. 4-cylinder 22RE or V6 5VZ-FE. Stock 225/75R15 (base) or 31×10.50R15 (TRD Off-Road). Underbody hoist-mount spare.
- Tacoma 2nd-gen (2005–2015) — with the 1GR-FE V6. Stock 245/75R16 (SR5), 265/70R16 (TRD Off-Road / Sport), 31.6 inch (80 cm) overall.

- Tacoma Trailhunter (2024+) — the new overland-spec Tacoma. Old Man Emu (ARB) suspension, ARB locker, RTT-ready bed rack. 265/70R18 stock.
Tacoma owners are some of the most-modified pickup buyers in North America. Lifted on 33s, on 35s, with bed-mounted RTTs, expedition rigs — the cover sits on the spare regardless of build.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
3rd-gen and 4th-gen Tacomas have factory backup cameras in the tailgate. Most owners with underbody-mounted spares don't need a camera hole. If you've relocated the spare to a bed-mount or rear-bumper carrier, send us the camera 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.
Tacoma spare tire sizing — SR base 245s, TRD Pro 265s, lifted 33s and 35s
Tacomas get tire upgrades constantly. Stock TRD Pro is 31.6 inches; lifted TRD Pro on 33s is the most common build. Use the lookup, then enter your actual tire's diameter at checkout.

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: Cement, Lunar Rock, Solar Octane, Cavalry Blue — iconic TRD Pro colors all in our reference library. Send the paint code or photo and we match.
How the cover attaches to your Tacoma's spare
All Tacoma generations stow the spare under the bed on the factory hoist. Cover wraps the tire and tightens with elastic or drawstring. Many owners relocate to bed-mount (Aluminess, Backwoods Adventure Mods), rear-bumper carrier (CBI, Demello), or roof rack — cover works for all:
- 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.
Underbody-mounted spare: install the cover before winding the spare back up under the bed. Drawstring is preferred for underbody mounts because it stays tight through the hoisting process.
