No Camera Hole, 2 Inch, 3 Inch, or 4 Inch: How to Choose a Spare Tire Cover Opening

Quick answer: First determine whether the rear camera passes through the spare-tire cover area. If it does not, choose the no-hole option. If it does, measure the camera housing—not only the lens—at its widest outside diameter and compare that result with the current 2, 3, and 4 inch opening choices. Confirm whether the opening should be centered or requires placement details.

Overall tire diameter and camera opening are two separate fit decisions. A correct tire-size calculation does not establish that the camera will clear the cover, and a correct hole diameter does not establish the cover size.

The Flower-Fetch Dog spare tire cover listing separates overall cover diameter from no-hole, 2 inch, 3 inch, and 4 inch camera-opening options.

Choose the opening from the vehicle configuration

Decision Choose this when Check before buying
No hole No camera or housing passes through the cover area Check the actual mounted spare and surrounding hardware
2 inch opening The measured housing fits that listed choice Measure the outside housing, not the visible lens
3 inch opening The housing requires the next listed diameter Confirm clearance and position independently
4 inch opening The outside housing matches the largest listed choice Do not enlarge the choice based on guesswork

Inspect the mounted spare first

Measurement boundary: Tire markings describe the tire, not an aftermarket camera housing. Use Continental’s tire-marking reference for the tire code, then physically measure the actual rear camera housing and compare it with the exact opening options on the live product page.

Look at the vehicle from directly behind. Identify whether the camera sits through the wheel center, above the spare, or elsewhere. Photograph the configuration for reference without assuming another trim level is identical.

Measure the widest outside diameter

Measure the physical housing that needs clearance. The lens alone can be smaller than the surrounding assembly, so lens diameter does not answer the opening question.

Record position separately

The current product page states that openings are centered by default and provides an optional order-note field for another position. Diameter and placement must both be communicated.

Finish the tire-size decision too

Use the tire sidewall calculation and compare the result with the currently available whole-inch cover sizes. Stop if either the cover diameter or camera-opening fit remains uncertain.

Camera-opening order checklist

  • The camera’s actual relationship to the mounted spare is visible.
  • The outer housing—not only the lens—was measured.
  • The result was compared with the current listed opening choices.
  • Centered versus alternate placement was confirmed.
  • Overall tire diameter was calculated as a separate step.

Where this product fits

The Flower-Fetch Dog Spare Tire Cover currently lists overall cover diameters from 27–40 inches and separate camera-opening choices of no hole, 2 inches, 3 inches, or 4 inches. Its page states that openings are centered by default unless placement details are added in the order-note field.
