Suzuki Jimny Spare Tire Cover (3rd Gen, JB64, JB74)
maj
There is something specifically delightful about a Jimny with the right spare tire cover. The vehicle is already a kind of inside joke — a tiny boxy 4×4 with serious off-road credentials, a cult following in Japan and Europe, and the same silhouette as a Defender that has been shrunk in the dryer. The cover is the natural finishing touch.
Jimny owners tend to lean two directions with their builds. One half goes all-in on the off-road heritage — expedition typography, GPS coordinates, mini-Defender tributes. The other half embraces the kei-car-as-culture-object angle — anime fan-art, Japanese typography, pet portraits. Both work, and the round canvas on the back accommodates either.
The other practical thing is sizing. Jimnys run small tires by 4×4 standards, and a lot of generic covers do not go that low. Custom-cutting a 27- or 28-inch cover is routine for us, and it is the same price as any other Jimny-friendly size.
Here is the sizing breakdown and design notes for the Jimny lineup, from the 3rd-gen through the current JB74.
The Suzuki Jimny (3rd generation, JB64, JB74) takes a 27″ or 28″ spare tire cover — the smallest off-road-vehicle size we cut. The tailgate-mounted spare is an ideal kei-car canvas for mini-Defender heritage tributes, expedition designs, or anime-style fan-art.
Jimny sizing by generation
- Jimny JB64 and JB74 stock (175/80R16): 27″ cover
- Jimny lifted on 30-inch all-terrains (common modification): 30″ cover
- Jimny Sierra and Suzuki Samurai: 27″–28″
- 3rd-generation Jimny (1998–2018): 27″
Designs that suit a Jimny
Two distinct aesthetics tend to win on a Jimny:
- Off-road and overland. Mini-Defender tributes, expedition typography, GPS coordinates, compass designs. The build is small but the heritage is real, and these covers lean into it.
- Kei-car and lifestyle. Japanese-inspired typography, anime-style fan-art, pet portraits, hobby tributes. The Jimny is a personality vehicle as much as an off-roader, and the cover can read that way too.
Material picks for a Jimny
If the Jimny lives outside in any climate worth thinking about, Marine Grade Vinyl ($169) is the long-lifespan pick. PU Leather ($129) works well for daily-driver Jimnys that lean into the kei-car aesthetic — the matte, leather-like finish pairs cleanly with the boxy body. Polyester ($69) is fine for garage-stored builds that only see weekend trail use.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Jimny colors fade in direct sunlight?
All five materials use fade-resistant UV printing, but lifespan differs. Marine Grade Vinyl is rated for up to 5 years of outdoor life, PU Leather and PVC for up to 3 years, and Polyester for up to 2 years. Marine Grade Vinyl and PU Leather render Jimny designs sharpest.
Does the cover come with a backup-camera hole?
Yes — included free on every cover. Choose the “with camera hole” option at checkout. The hole is centered and sized to fit any factory or aftermarket camera position.
Can I customize the design with a name or family logo?
Yes — free design proof, no extra cost, no minimum order. Send the wording or logo at checkout, or use the custom spare tire cover page.
My JB74 has 30-inch off-road tires now. What size cover do I need?
Measure the new overall tire diameter. If you have gone up to 30-inch all-terrains (one of the most popular Jimny lift mods), you need a 30″ cover.
Can I get a custom anime-style design for my Jimny?
Yes. Send the image at checkout. The design team works with anime, manga, and kei-car culture aesthetics regularly. Free design proof, no extra cost.
