19PD33 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi all, I’ve never been able to get the spare tire cover back on the rear-mounted spare on my car. Is there a smart way to do this? Or is it a problem with the tires on the car now? They are Lester 5:25/5,50 by 17”. Maybe they are somewhat larger than the original Size? It was on when I bought the car. A flag in the clasp area was a bit bent I straightened it thinking that was the problem but still no go, at least trying to do it myself.

TodFitch Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Last two sets of tires I've gotten have problems fitting in the metal cover. My solution is to deflate the tire, install the cover on it such that the filler stem is in top. With the whole spare tire and cover assembly mounted on the car, reach behind with an air chuck and fill the spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
