OEM spare tire install

Total approximate miles on tire? I'm wondering when to replace my OEM tires.

 

It happened around 50,000 kms (30,000 miles).

 

Here's what I did. Just used what i had and cut it to fit the tire in. Going to get the bolt down to hold it in place, and I have the Cabling protected under the spare as well. I'm not spending $400+ for some Styrofoam inserts.

 

So why doesn't Toyota give you that option?

 

Bingo.

that’d be the option most every buyer would take. See what’s wrong with this business model? The only thing that’ll turn this trend around is a boycott.

 

That's what I did and it worked out fine. Tip: Mazda CX-5 jacks are good quality. Check your junkyards.

 

Last month, I picked a set of OEM 19s for a great price. Now I have my 17s as an extra set of wheels, my plan is to use one of them as my spare, hence now I'd have a full size in the trunk, granted it'll take some space and add weight. But now i'll have 3 wheels in the garage, unless I find buyers for each that would like a full size spare lol

 

Would someone please review this parts list for an XLS (Nightshade) 2025 AWD Prius for accuracy? (I am still debating whether to use the rip-off expensive foam inserts, or carve up my existing white storage bin.)

* Foam Insert for Deck Floor (Spare Tire Support):
* Part No. 64778-47090 
This molded foam piece supports the spare tire and keeps your trunk floor level.
* Box, Deck Floor – Right:
* Part No. 64995-47080 
Foam insert for the right side around the spare (contains cutouts for jack/tools).
* Box, Deck Floor – Left:
* Part No. 64997-47100 
Foam insert for the left side (supports and levels the deck floor).
* Protector, Spare Wheel Carrier (Brackets over electronics, AWD only):
* Part No. 51978-47010 
Metal cover to protect wiring/electronics (important for AWD models).
* Flange Nuts (for bracket):
* Part No. 90178-A0132 
(or trip to the hardware store) Use 3 of these to secure the bracket.
* Spare Tire Hold-Down Bolt/Screw:
* Description: Long bolt with handle to keep tire secure; can be sourced from a salvage yard or ordered new. 
(Exact part number may differ, depending on Prius model year.)
Extra Stuff
* Scissor Jack, Lug Wrench, Wheel, Tire:
* Source these from a salvage yard or purchase new. Verify size compatibility with your Prius.

 

Is there a similar accurate list for the LE? .....Thanks

 

I took the list from post 509, plugged in numbers from Toyota USA Parts Site, just MSRP. Street prices maybe 20~25 percent lower:

 

Consider Amayama too. You'd want to factor in shipping too, probably best to get it all either from Japan OR UAE, to avoid two shipping charges, just check it out.



(One item was out of stock, only required for AWD)

 

With the help of all the info posted in this thread, I did this install a week or two ago in my new (to me) 2024 LTD AWD. I ordered all the parts from Lewis Toyota who had a decent discount from MSRP and free shipping. The tire I ordered from Tire Rack online and that shipped for free as well. All that arrived in a week or so from ordering.


- Carrier, Spare Wheel, Right Hand - #51931-10040 - $13.49

- Protector, Spare Wheel - #64778-47090 - $154.09

- Protector, Spare Wheel Carrier - #51978-47010 - $35.88

- Flange Nut x3 - #90178-A0132 - $3.18

- Disc Wheel - #42611-21280 - $78.65

- Hub Nut Box Wrench - #09150-42010 - $41.00


For a total of $326.29. Adding in the tire brought it to $423.86.


I didn’t want to spend the extra on the styrofoam boxes so I carved my existing ones without too much difficulty. I already had a spare jack from an old Hyundai that happened to fit so I saved a bit on that too. Also, shout out to Discount Tire who didn’t bother to charge me to put the tire on the wheel.


The deck board felt a little unsupported in the middle where the tire didn’t quite come up to the height of the styrofoam, so I took an old towel and folded it up on top of the tire to add that little extra support. With a little creative carving, I was able to fit all the tools and pump back into the styrofoam boxes in a way that felt secure.


Overall I was happy with the balance of saving some money and keeping it relatively easy to do. Thanks again to everyone who has provided such great info on here!

 

Thank You! .......

 

Great info here, thanks all!

 

Please clarify for me the size of the correct "Wheel, Disc (steel) for a 2025 Prius Limited AWD.
Your posts lists this wheel:
"$102.13 - 42611-21280 - Wheel, Disc spare wheel"

When I look on Toyota.com for wheel parts for a 2025 Prius Limited AWD, I see 2 different sized steel wheels. There is a 16x4T and an 18x4T listed for part # 42611-21280.

Why are 2 wheel sizes listed?
Which is the correct size wheel, the 16x4T or the 18x4T for a 2025 Prius Limited AWD?

 

Where did you get the yellow tire retainer? I'm probably going to go with the value spare and modifying the existing foam for my LE. I'm at 13,700 miles and have had 3 punctures. Enough is enough!
