The fit of the outer cover to the face cover looks correct to me. I would just cut the slot holes you need, add S/S trim and no one would be able to tell.

After Bill's last response I think were getting to the bottom of this...my tire cover measures 27 1/2"OD and the really old 600-16 tire still on the spare is approx 27"OD.... I will see if I can find one and if not I may have to do as Moxie has suggested... Thanks to all..if anyone knows of a 35 spare tire cover please advise... Jim

I just took another looked at the tire cover on my '36. The cover sits on top of the tire, terminating about 1/4" short of the tire edge. I checked the measurements on two fairly new 600 x 16 tires I have, they are 27" OD. Since the cover in question is 27-1/2" OD and has no SS trim rim, I would surmise that it is not for a '35 Ford. In all probability, the only tire covers that are brand specific, are the covers for the '36 Fords, the majority of which have the simulated Ford hub cap in the center. I find it interesting that in reviewing publications dealing with old cars, it appears, that of the lower priced cars, Ford stood alone in using full tire covers. GM used full covers on their higher priced cars, Cad and Buick, as did Packard. With few exceptions, the majority of the manufactures preferred partial covers.

My guess is that your trim plate is actually for a 41-48 Woody Wagon. It is missing the bracket that attaches it to the wheel/perch. I've got the cover for my spare and the holes for the bracket are idetical to the holes in the picture. I also have a 35/36 spare tire trim plate and the size and shape is identical to the 41-48 sans slots for the trim stainless trim ring The 36 has nine slots that are horizontal and not round. This allows you to adjust the trim ring. Hope that helps. Vince
