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 Bezhevyy (Beige), Khaki, Vishnya (Cherry), Belyy (White), Mokko (Mocha) Niva trims. Cyrillic ЛАДА НИВА lettering supported.
How the cover attaches
Niva's stock spare can mount under the bonnet (early), on the rear gate (most years), or on the roof (occasional camper conversions). Soft 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.
