Suzuki Sidekick spare tire covers
Custom spare tire covers for the Suzuki Sidekick (1989–1998), Sidekick Sport (1996–1998), and the Geo / Chevrolet Tracker that shared the platform. Stock spare 195/75R15 or 215/75R15 on the rear-mounted swing-out tire carrier. Free backup-camera cutout, free custom design, free worldwide shipping.
Built for the Sidekick — the bigger Samurai successor
The Suzuki Sidekick (1989–1998) was the Samurai's bigger sibling — same ladder-chassis ethos but with a longer wheelbase, optional 4-door body, and a more comfortable interior. Sold as the Geo Tracker and later the Chevrolet Tracker (1989–2004). Stock spare hangs on the rear swing-out tire carrier with a body-color steel cover on most trims.
- Sidekick 2-door (1989–1998) — convertible and hardtop. Stock 195/75R15.
- Sidekick 4-door (1991–1998) — family-spec 4-door. Stock 195/75R15 or 205/75R15.
- Sidekick Sport (1996–1998) — performance trim with 1.8L 4-cylinder, body-color trim. Stock 215/65R15.
- Sidekick JS / JX / JLX — trim variants of the standard Sidekick. Same stock spare.
- Sidekick X-Type (rare 4WD trim) — 4WD-spec with locking diffs. Same 195/75R15.
- Geo Tracker / Chevy Tracker (1989–2004 platform sibling) — Sidekick-derived, sold as Geo until 1997 and Chevy thereafter.
Sidekick owners are typically long-term enthusiasts. Sidekick Sport with the 1.8L is now collector-grade.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
Sidekick came before factory backup cameras. Owners retrofit wireless cameras onto the spare 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.

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: Carmine Red, Pacific Blue, Cherry Red — iconic Sidekick colors in our reference library.
How the cover attaches to your Sidekick's spare
Sidekick carries the spare on the rear swing-out tire carrier with a body-color steel cover on most trims. Soft cover sits over the tire inside the steel cover:
- 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.
If you've removed the body-color steel cover, our soft cover wraps directly on the tire.
