Spare Wheel Protection

[999]

I tried searching but couldn’t find any threads easily.

I have new Evo Corse wheels and 275/70/18 K03’s and want to make sure I don’t mess the spare wheel up when mounting it.

Not concerned on clearance more protecting the wheel finish. This 5th wheel will get in the rotation.

The stock spare had some wear marks on it when I took it off.

Someone on one the FB groups just posted a spare cover they bought on Amazon, looks like a condom. I choose to freeball it. I’d rather not have moisture stuck in there for 3-6 months at a time.

I rotate every 5k and honestly a quick hose off and scrub and my wheels are fine. The side of the tire might have a mark or two but it will usually scrub off.

The other thing is your new spare will have more “tire” and less “rim” clamped down so less chance for the rim face to get damaged.
