We have a white 2006 Toyota Prado. We had the rear wheel and cover stolen. I replaced it with the same tyre as the other 4 which are Mickey Thomson 4 wheel drive tyres and now I can't fit the cover on. (The people we bought the vehicle from must have had a stock tyre under the cover, but I've been told by several tyre shops as well as the guys at toyota that if I got a flat tyre I couldn't use a stock tyre because it would throw everything out of balance and could cause lots of damage. I was just wondering if there are any aftermarket wheel covers that I could buy to fit over a larger tyre and have painted to match the car (as toyota only make one size?)

Re: Prado Rear Wheel Cover to fit 4 wheel drive tyres
Hi
I have Mickey Thomson ATZ's 265/70/17 on my 150 and the spare tyre cover goes over that. Might be worth asking your dealer to try one and how much.

Re: Prado Rear Wheel Cover to fit 4 wheel drive tyres
Hi Fella's,
Thanks for your replies.... the tyres are 265/70/R17 which sounds like what the other guy has but being a chick I didn't understand what 120 or 150 means? Do you think the cover should fit over? The guy at Toyota's front desk said it wouldn't but he also said I could drive with a standard tyre - until he went and confirmed with one of the service guys!

Re: Prado Rear Wheel Cover to fit 4 wheel drive tyres
Ok so I've made a few more phone calls and NO you definately can't get a hardcover to fit over the larger 4 wheel drive tyres! How ridiculous when so many people want to have 4 wheel drives tyres on their cars that they wouldn't make them in a bigger size!

Re: Prado Rear Wheel Cover to fit 4 wheel drive tyres
Shelley, the 120 is a 2003-2009 prado the 150 is a 2009 onwards prado, you actually have posted undwr the 150 section hence the confusion. Did u ring TJM as the cover i have has some adjustment to it and when i brought it it came in a lot of sizes. Secondly i would not drive your car with two different size tyres as it can cause issues with the drivetrain been a constant 4 wheel drive vehicle. Anyhow good luck with your search. Maybe you could buy a 150 series cover off one pf the boys that have removed theirs as their is a few on here, as Richo said it would fit.[b]Rob[/b]

In regards to real tyres not having the hard covers well that suits me fine. I had one of the hard wheel covers on the old 65 profile tyres and was glad to be rid of it. When I had to change a tyre it was just another thging to muck around with that I didn't want to worry about.[COLOR=#000080]Nick[/COLOR]
