Pete, how can you tell? Is the stud supposed to be in the more forward position for a spacesaver car? Or length of stud?





Both..
Stud is different legnth for space Sacer vs. the non space saver and location changes to the forward hole with space saver vs. rearward hole for standard spare.

FYI: A photo description of the is layed out on the factory spare tire trunk decal as well as the factory engineering drawing.
