About the Detroit Lions Design
Den Detroit Lions have one of the most recognizable color schemes in the NFL — Honolulu blue, silver, and white, anchored by the charging lion logo. Wheel Shell’s Lions-themed covers translate that identity onto a full-bleed printed graphic that wraps the entire face of your spare tire. The result is a clean, bold display of team pride that’s visible from across a parking lot.
If the standard design isn’t quite what you had in mind — maybe you want a player’s name, a custom number, or a mashup with another Detroit team — Wheel Shell’s free custom design service handles that at no extra charge. More on that below.
Fits Any Vehicle with a Rear-Mounted Spare
Rear-mounted spare tires are standard on a wide range of vehicles, and a Lions tire cover works on all of them — the key is matching the cover size to your tire’s outer diameter, not the vehicle brand. Compatible vehicles include:
- Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator — the most popular pairing; JK, JL, and JT generations all carry rear-mounted spares
- Ford Bronco — both the full-size Bronco and Bronco Sport with rear spare
- Mercedes G Wagon — rear-door-mounted spare on all G-Class generations
- Toyota 4Runner — undercarriage spare on most trims, rear-mounted on some configurations
- RV, motorhome, fifth wheel, camper, and travel trailer — spare tires on these rigs are often larger; confirm diameter before ordering
- Other 4x4s and SUVs — Land Rover Defender, Suzuki Jimny, Mitsubishi Pajero, and many more

Does This Spare Tire Cover Work with Backup Cameras?
Yes — a backup camera hole is included free of charge on every cover. Many Jeep Wrangler JL owners and Ford Bronco drivers have a factory backup camera mounted on the spare tire, and a solid cover would block it entirely. Wheel Shell pre-cuts or includes the camera hole as a free add-on at checkout, positioned so it doesn’t disrupt the Lions graphic in any meaningful way. You get full team pride and a working camera — no compromise. For a deeper look at how the cutout is placed, see the guide on how to cut a backup camera hole in a spare tire cover.
What Size Spare Tire Cover Do I Need?
Sizing is straightforward once you know your spare tire’s outer diameter. Here’s how to measure:
- Look at the tire sidewall. You’ll see a code like 265/70R17 — the last number (17) is the wheel diameter in inches, but that’s not the outer diameter of the whole tire.
- To get the outer diameter, use the full sidewall code with an online tire size calculator, or simply measure across the mounted spare from tread to tread with a tape measure.
- Match that measurement to the cover’s size chart. Most spare tire covers for SUVs and Jeeps are sized to fit tire diameters typically ranging from around 27 to 35 inches — check the product size chart and measure your spare’s outer diameter before ordering.
Common pairings: a stock Jeep Wrangler JL runs a 255/75R17 (roughly 32 inches outer diameter); a lifted Wrangler on 35-inch tires needs a 35-inch cover. RV spare tires vary widely, so always measure first.
Which Material Is Best for a Lions-Inspired Spare Tire Cover?
This is where most buyers get stuck. The short answer: match the material to how much outdoor exposure your spare tire sees and how much you want to spend. Here’s a plain-language breakdown of all five tiers.
Polyester — $69 (Budget)
Polyester is the lightest and most affordable option. It’s a good fit if your vehicle spends most of its time in a garage or mild climate, or if you want a Lions cover for occasional display rather than full-time outdoor duty. Print quality is solid for fan use; just don’t expect it to shrug off years of direct sun and rain the way heavier materials do. Learn more about how spare tire cover materials compare across all tiers.
PVC — $99 (Vandtæt)
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) adds a waterproof surface layer over the base material, making it a meaningful step up for vehicles parked outdoors regularly. UV resistance is better than standard polyester, and the surface wipes clean easily. A solid mid-range choice for daily drivers in variable weather.
PU Leather — $129 (Premium Look)
PU leather is the material used in Wheel Shell’s covers and delivers a premium appearance that stands out from fabric-based options. Like vinyl-family materials, PU leather has a wipe-clean, non-porous surface — but it is a distinct material, not the same as marine-grade vinyl. It handles moderate outdoor exposure well and gives the Lions graphic a richer, more finished look. If you want the cover to look sharp on a daily driver without going full heavy-duty, this is the sweet spot.
Marine Grade Vinyl — $169 (Heavy Duty, Printed and Sewn in Florida)
Marine-grade vinyl is generally considered suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure and is commonly associated with UV-resistant coatings — verify the specific UV rating with the product listing. This tier is printed and sewn in Florida, and it’s the right call for off-road rigs, vehicles that live outside year-round, or anyone who wants a cover that can take real punishment. The print fidelity at this tier is also noticeably sharper.
Marine Grade Vinyl Lux — $199 (Top Spec, Printed and Sewn in Florida)
The top of the range. Marine Grade Vinyl Lux is also printed and sewn in Florida and represents the highest durability and print quality Wheel Shell offers. If your Jeep, Bronco, or RV is a full-time outdoor vehicle — or if you want the Lions graphic to look its best for years — this is the tier to choose. It’s also the recommended option for RV and motorhome spare tires that face constant sun exposure on the road.
Material Comparison Table
| Materiale | Pris | Vandtæt | UV Resistance | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester | $69 | Nej | Basic | Occasional use, mild climates, budget buyers |
| PVC | $99 | Ja | Moderate | Daily drivers, regular outdoor parking |
| Marine-grade vinyl / PU leather | $129 | Ja | God | Premium look, daily drivers, moderate exposure |
| Marine Grade Vinyl (FL) | $169 | Ja | High | Off-road, full-time outdoor, harsh weather |
| Marine Grade Vinyl Lux (FL) | $199 | Ja | Highest | RV, motorhome, maximum durability and print quality |

How Does the Cover Attach to My Spare Tire?
No tools required. Spare tire covers use an elastic or bungee-style band sewn into the back hem of the cover. You stretch the cover over the face of the spare tire and pull the band around the rim edge — it snaps into place and holds securely at highway speeds and on trail. The fit works on standard and oversized tires alike, as long as you’ve ordered the correct diameter size. First-time buyers sometimes worry about the cover flying off; a properly sized cover with a tight elastic band stays put reliably.
Free Custom Design — Your Idea, Our Design Team
Wheel Shell’s free custom design service is genuinely free — no upsell, no design fee. If you want something beyond the standard Lions graphic, describe your idea (a player name and number, a custom slogan, a mashup with another team) or upload an image, and the design team creates the artwork at no extra charge. This is what separates a reservehjulscover med eget design from a generic licensed product — you get exactly what you want, not just what’s on the shelf. To start the process, get a free custom tire cover design directly from the Wheel Shell design team.
Shipping, Delivery & Guarantee
Every order ships free worldwide — no minimum, no hidden fees. Processing and handling takes 2–5 business days, with orders fulfilled Monday through Saturday. Delivery typically arrives within 6–12 days after dispatch. Wheel Shell is operated by Divergence Enterprise LLC, headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming, with customer support available Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–10:00 PM CEST at info@wheelshell.com.
On the guarantee side: customer testimonials reference replacement covers being sent free of charge when issues arise. This is handled case by case — contact support directly if you have a problem with your order.
Other Detroit Sports Team Covers
If your household roots for more than just the Lions, Wheel Shell has you covered — literally. The Detroit Pistons, Lions, Tigers & Red Wings spare tire cover puts all four major Detroit franchises on a single cover, which is a solid option for multi-sport fans who can’t pick just one team. There are also standalone covers for the Detroit Pistons and other Detroit sports themes. If you’re a baseball fan as well, browse the football spare tire covers collection for the full NFL lineup including Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle Seahawks designs.
A Note on Official Licensing
Wheel Shell covers are custom fan-art designs — they are not officially licensed NFL merchandise. For most fans, that’s a non-issue: the designs are high quality, the personalization options are unmatched, and the price is lower than licensed alternatives. But if you need an officially licensed NFL product — for gifting, resale, or strict brand authenticity — a retailer carrying officially licensed NFL tire covers (such as Quadratec) may be the better choice. The custom route offers more personalization and lower prices; the licensed route offers the official NFL hologram. Know which matters more to you before you order.
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Will a Detroit Lions spare tire cover fit my Jeep Wrangler?
Yes. Covers are sized to fit rear-mounted spares on the Jeep Wrangler (JK, JL, JT generations), Jeep Gladiator, Ford Bronco, RVs, and most SUVs. The key step is matching your spare tire’s outer diameter to the correct cover size — measure across the mounted tire from tread to tread and compare to the product size chart before ordering.
Leveres coveret med et hul til bakkamera?
Yes — a backup camera hole is included free of charge. It’s pre-cut or added as a free option at checkout, positioned so it doesn’t disrupt the Lions graphic. This is especially useful for Jeep Wrangler JL and Ford Bronco owners with a factory camera mounted on the spare tire.
Hvilken størrelse reservehjulscover har jeg brug for?
Measure the outer diameter of your mounted spare tire from tread to tread with a tape measure.

What is the difference between PU leather and marine grade vinyl for a spare tire cover?

Yes. Wheel Shell’s free custom design service lets you describe your idea — a player name, a number, custom text, or a design mashup — or upload an image, and the design team creates the artwork at no extra charge. There’s no design fee added to the order; it’s included with every custom cover purchase.
