      Bugger, I tried to get mine to fit today after fitting a set of 265/70 KO2's. Despite plenty of massaging and encouragement with liquid soap it steadfastly refuses to go on.

        Biggest tyre to fit under factory spare wheel cover?

        Last month I got 5 - 265/70/17 bfg's A/T K02's from Bob J. & they got my cover back on & it looks just like Safriwagon's..
        Must admit, haven't tried to remove it & do a refit yet, maybe that will be the test.

          Interesting re Bob Jane, I am getting them fitted Sat by them and the guy was adamant on the phone the cover wont fit. I'm sure with abit of persuation, it will fit.

            I deleted my cover because I've heard, when you get a flat and swap tyres, getting the cover back on over the flat can be very difficult if not impossible.
            I cant afford to carry a cover around in the back or on my roof racks when travelling as my car is always packed to the brim.

              Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it but a tip for those who REALLY want to keep their cover with 265/70R17 tyres. You can remove the black plastic backing off the door, the outside cover will fit over the tyre and held on with the centre bolt.

              Personally I got rid of mine as it just slowed down tyre changes, made it harder to check pressure, and I can now carry a tyre bag without having to worry about scratches. Plus it helped minimise that Malibu Barbie Jeep look..... as much as you can having a Prado

                I've found that after getting my tyre cover to fit on a 265/70 wheel that it's started to crack the cover near the bottom latch. I put this down to a combination of the facts that I live on heavily corrogated roads that I drive daily and that the latch is under more pressure than usual as there's a bigger tyre under it to hold down. My fix at this point has been to simply leave the latch unhooked and put a larger washer under the center bolt to give it a bit more purchase on the cover. The crack hasn't developed any more so I'm calling it fixed

                In any serious offroading or trips that I do the cover will be the first thing to come off- As other's have said, it's a purely cosmetic item that basically just gets in the road if you're trying to bolt a munted tyre back on that you've just changed, additionally it prevents me from hanging a bag off the wheel. However, it does keep things looking nice around town, which realistically accounts for the majority of driving that I do with this vehicle.

                  265/70/17 BFG KO2s definately fit. Bob Jane man wouldn’t even mount the spare tyre on the holder because it touched the bottom of the backing plate. I just pushed it on, bolted it up and fitted the cover. No bashing or surgery required.

                    I took the punt based on some of the comments on here,
                    Today I had the 265/70/17 BFG AT KO2 Fitted, The guys at the tyre Shop said no go with the cover, I got home screwed it up...Took a little bit of extra force to get the bottom clip on. But all sorted!

                          Any scrubbing when turning the wheel? Was the spare at full pressure?

                          Thanks

                            Thanks Simonkaufman, I've been waiting for this for quite a while mine will be due very soon 265x65x18 K02. Does it fits well no dramas?

                              The camera is screwed to the wheel holder not the cover.

                                Sorry for the delay responding.
                                265/65R18 fit no problems under wheel cover. Full pressure is no issue.
