Does anyone know what the part number for the spare tire pads are that are on the cross member? I searched but haven't found anything. Mine are crushed and starting to mark up my wheel.

Is the part number molded into the top side of the puck? In other words, if you remove one from the crossmember, is the part number visible?
And a side note, I hate their spacing! They contact the spare wheel, which damages the wheel paint
. They should contact the sidewall of the tire.

Agree completely, really bad design. My original wheels were damaged and a friend's had huge, deep marks into his spare 20" LX wheel. To this day I won't put the spare back up without cleaning the pads thoroughly with a wet rag.. which does seem to help, but not completely.
Someone on here cut some 1/4" thick strips of plastic and stuck that to the crossmember where they'd contact the tire sidewall to keep the wheel from contacting the pads.
