I checked my paperwork, and it looks like the dealer just slapped "black wheel cover" on my accessories list at time of vehicle delivery. So no part #. It was likely on the box, but that was thrown out when I installed it. Sorry!

EDIT: from a little searching online, it looks like VPLEW0157 corresponds to the OEM black wheel cover.

Fitment question - Anyone know the max tire size for the OEM spare wheel cover? I may upgrade the stock Pirellis to 275/55R20 AT tires when my Defender arrives but unsure if I should get a 5th tire. No point if 275/55 doesn't fit under the wheel cover.

Tried searching but could not find an answer so bumping this thread.

I have KO2s in 275/60/20s and the cover fits the spare. Snug fit, but fit. They kinda make a little noise when the car flexes and the dealer says it is because of the oversized tires. I got used to the noise and don't care anymore.

Another brilliant recommendation. Thanks! I’d not thought of that. I suppose if I trusted every Aliexpress, eBay, and Google search result, I wouldn’t need to come to a group of like minded people to get help and advice.

Thanks for your input. The KO2s are a hefty tire not surprised it's putting excess strain on the tire carrier.
I may forgo a 5th tire and put that $ towards some side steps....or some 22s.

I took a chance and picked up a wheel cover off of Amazon for $280. I am totally satisfied with it. It's a quality cover, fit and finish is spot on.

I bought this one and for the money it's ok, but not perfect. The gloss isn't that great.
It fits well, but the glossy black just doesn't pop like I was hoping. But for the $179 I spent it isn't the worst. I wanted something to cover that spare before the snow flies and couldn't find a factory cover for a decent price.
