We have many spare tire covers you can choose from to protect your Jeep's rear-mounted spare tire.

You'll just want to measure the overall diameter of the tire on your 18-inch wheel. You didn't mention your specific Jeep model or year but let's say you have a 255/70-18 spare tire, which is one of the stock sizes on a 2010 Wrangler (just as an example). This tire has a width of 10-inches and an overall diameter of 32-inches so a great cover for this would be an item like black cover # 290-1732, camo cover # 290-8752 or USA Flag cover # 290-1782.

If you know your tire size you can refer to the linked article for help figuring its overall diameter and then use the linked page for all cover to choose the size to match. You'll then see only the specific covers that will fit that specific tire diameter.
