Daihatsu spare tire covers
Custom spare tire covers for Daihatsu Rocky / Feroza, Terios, Rugger / Fourtrak, Taft / Wildcat, and Hijet. Free backup-camera cutout, free custom design, free worldwide shipping. Built for the kei-class Toyota subsidiary that brought turbocharged 1.6L 4WDs to Australia, the UK, and the JDM market for forty years.
Sized for every Daihatsu 4WD — Taft to Terios
Daihatsu doesn't get the volume of attention Toyota or Honda do, but the cult around the Rocky / Feroza, the Fourtrak, and the original Taft is rock-solid. These are the Toyota-subsidiary 4WDs that proved a 1.6L turbo could outlast a Land Cruiser if you knew what you were doing. Our covers are sized to match every spare Daihatsu actually fitted.
- Daihatsu Rocky / Feroza / Sportrak (1989–2002) — the 1.6L 16-valve, 4WD short-wheelbase that built the Daihatsu off-road reputation. Stock spare 215/65R16 on rear swing-out carrier. Sold as Sportrak in the UK, Feroza in Australia, Rocky in the US.
- Daihatsu Terios / Bego (1997–present) — the small monocoque 4WD SUV that succeeded the Rocky. 1st-gen 215/65R16, 2nd-gen 215/65R16 to 225/55R17 depending on trim.
- Daihatsu Rugger / Fourtrak / Wildcat (1984–2002) — the body-on-frame, longer-wheelbase 4WD with the 2.8 turbodiesel. Loved in the UK as the Fourtrak. Stock spare 215/80R15 or 235/75R15 depending on year.
- Daihatsu Taft / Wildcat / Blizzard (1974–1984) — the original Daihatsu 4WD. Body-on-frame, kei-derived, sold as the Toyota Blizzard from 1980 onward. Stock 215/75R15.
- Daihatsu Hijet / Atrai (kei truck and van, 1960–present) — the iconic kei-class working truck. Spare typically 145R12LT or 155R12LT, side-mounted in the bed. Cult import in the US since the 25-year rule kicked in.
- Daihatsu Charade (1977–2000) — not a 4WD, but the De Tomaso Turbo and G100 GTti are Daihatsu legends. 165/70R13 spare for owners who want a cover for the boot-stowed spare.
Australian Feroza owners, UK Fourtrak Independent owners, Asian and African Terios fleets, US JDM Hijet importers, Japanese Taft restorers — we ship globally and we know the model lineage cold.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
Most modern Terios and Rocky (the 2019+ revival) have factory backup cameras. Older Feroza and Fourtrak owners sometimes retrofit a wireless camera onto the rear-mounted spare carrier. Send the camera diameter and offset; we cut the hole during production at no charge.
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.

Choose your material
Daihatsu owners are practical — nobody bought a Feroza for status. The materials line up the same way: durability and price first.
Polyester — $69 (Budget)
Lifespan 2–3 years. Drawstring cord attachment. Honest, simple, drawstring. Right pick for daily Terios drivers and budget Feroza owners.
PVC — $99 (Waterproof)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Best for the rainy-climate UK Fourtrak owners and Southeast Asian Terios fleets — waterproof, elastic, three to four years.
PU Leather — $129 (Premium look)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Adds premium feel to a clean Feroza or original Taft restoration. Elastic band, soft grain, premium look.
Marine Grade Vinyl — $169 (Heavy duty, printed and sewn in Florida)
Lifespan 5+ years. Drawstring cord attachment. What we recommend for Australian Feroza owners in NSW summer or Asian Terios in tropical sun. UV stable, Florida-printed, 5+ years.
Marine Grade Vinyl Lux — $199 (Top spec, printed and sewn in Florida)
Same Marine Grade Vinyl spec plus integrated anti-theft lock — exclusive to Marine Grade Vinyl Lux only. Marine spec plus integrated anti-theft lock. Worth it for collector-grade Tafts and rare JDM Hijets.
Materials built for off-road use
| Material | Price | Lifespan | Durability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester Budget | $69 | Up to 2 yrs | Daily driver in covered parking or garage. Lightweight, UV-resistant, easy to swap. | |
| PVC Water-resistant | $99 | Up to 3 yrs | Trail rigs and weekend off-road use. Water-resistant, handles mud and brush scratches well. Clean with mild soap and water. | |
| PU Leather Premium look | $129 | Up to 3 yrs | Daily driver with OEM matte-black aesthetics. Best match for factory finishes on Jeep, G-Wagon, and Ford Bronco. | |
| Marine Grade Vinyl Heavy duty | $169 | Up to 5 yrs | Year-round outdoor parking, coastal humidity, desert sun, Arizona heat, sub-zero winters. 1mm heavy-duty construction, our most durable option. | |
| Marine Grade Vinyl + Anti-Theft Kit Top spec | $199 | Up to 5 yrs | Same Marine Grade Vinyl construction as above, with added locking anti-theft hardware. Best for high-visibility parking and long-term outdoor exposure. |
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 Feroza Forest Green, Wine Red, and Strato Silver. Hijet Citron Yellow is a popular request from US JDM importers. Send the paint code or a photo and we'll match it.
How the cover attaches to your Daihatsu's spare
Daihatsu used both rear-mount and underfloor spare arrangements. Rocky, Feroza, Terios, Rugger, and Taft mount the spare on the rear gate or swing-arm. Hijet mounts under the bed. Pick by attachment style:
- 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.
Rocky / Feroza owners: a soft cover fits over the tire whether or not your model has a hard plastic shell. Size by tire diameter.

Frequently asked questions about Daihatsu spare tire covers
What size cover do I need for my Daihatsu Rocky / Feroza / Sportrak?
Stock spare is 215/65R16, which is 27 inches (69 cm) overall. If you've fitted larger ATs (30×9.5R15 for example, 30 inch overall), just enter your actual tire diameter at checkout.
Does this fit the Daihatsu Fourtrak / Rugger?
Yes — Fourtrak runs 215/80R15 or 235/75R15 stock (28.5–29 inches overall). The cover wraps the spare on the rear-mount swing-arm. Drawstring fits the longer-wheelbase models well.
What about the Hijet kei truck or van?
Hijet runs 145R12 or 155R12 stock, which is 21–22 inches overall — smaller than most spare tire covers on the market. We size custom for free, and we ship to US JDM Hijet importers regularly.
Will the cover work for the modern Terios?
Yes. 1st-gen Terios on 215/65R16 (27 inches), 2nd-gen on either 215/65R16 or 225/55R17. Both are in our standard sizing — just select at checkout.
Can you match the cover to my Forest Green Feroza paint?
Yes — Forest Green G39, Wine Red R44, Strato Silver S22, Carmen Red T11, and Light Beige B45 are all in our reference library. Send the paint code from the doorjamb or a clear photo.
Do you ship to the UK or Australia?
Yes — both. Free worldwide shipping. Production 2–7 business days plus 4–5 business days air freight. About 6–12 business days to UK, 6–12 to Australia.
Can I customize the cover with my Fourtrak Independent or Sportrak EFI badge?
Absolutely. Send us the badge artwork or a clear photo and we'll trace it free. We've done Independent, EFI, FX-12, DX, and EL badges for various Daihatsu owners.
Will the cover survive Australian summer or Southeast Asian tropical climate?
Marine Grade Vinyl is the answer. UV stable, Florida-printed, 5+ year lifespan. Most owners in tropical climates go Marine.
What about the original Taft or Toyota Blizzard from the 1970s?
Stock Taft / Blizzard ran 215/75R15, which is 27.7 inches overall. We've sized covers for restored Taft F50 and F60 models — just measure and enter the diameter.
How long does shipping take to Indonesia or Malaysia?
About 5–10 business days door-to-door by air freight. Free worldwide shipping. Indonesian Terios fleets are one of our regular markets.
Can the Charade GTti or De Tomaso badge fit on a spare cover?
Yes — for owners with externally-mounted spares (some saloon racers do this) or covers for the boot-stowed spare. We've drawn De Tomaso Turbo, GTti rally, and World Rally Championship liveries before.
Will the cover work for the new Rocky (2019+) revival?
Yes — the new Daihatsu Rocky / Toyota Raize hybrid runs 195/65R16 stock. We size accordingly. The new Rocky doesn't ship with an external spare, so most owners get the cover for the under-floor full-size.
