No, you cannot take a deduction for wear and tear if you are reimbursed the federal rate for your miles. If you are reimbursed less than the federal mileage rate than you can enter the miles driven as a job-related expense and then continue through the interview questions and enter the amount you were reimbursed. However, in order for this to make any difference on your return you would need to have expenses greater than 2% of your AGI and then only the portion that is above 2% will actually count towards your itemized deductions.
If you are reimbursed the standard mileage for your miles driven since you are not taxed on that, you will not enter anything as a job expense.
