I don't know how that would look like, a G70-14 squeezed on a 5.5" rim. I think that's too wide.
That's because:
the STANDARD wheel was 14x6.0" (with "dog dish" hub caps or full wheel covers & other combos)
OPTIONAL in 14" were (new for 1971) 14x6.0" "ROAD WHEELS" w/chrome trim ring at $90.55
OPTIONAL for the G60-15s were 15x7.0" "RALLYE WHEELS" at $58.95
NO 14" "RALLYE WHEELS" on 440, 440+6 or HEMI '71 b-bodies.

No thats long gone.
I'm just trying to get the correct tire inflation door jam sticker, spare wheel and tire.
Its also nice to know how it most likely came. I'm voting for the "Road Wheels" or Magnum 500's since the version w/o the trim ring is already on the car.
Thanks for the help guys.

I picked this tire up for a spare..Anyone know what the rim is???
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

It appear's to be a chromed Chevy Rally Wheel, most likey an aftermarket wheel but someone could have had an original chromed I guess.

i`d like to add my thought on tire size decals-to me it seems they had a minimum tire size decal on the cars. i heard people in the past saying that even 15 inch e bodies had 14 inch tire decals. my 69 charger is optioned with w23 15 inch recall wheels but has a 14 inch tire decal that looks never touched as the car is still in original paint. when i asked frank badalson about it he said they put a minimum size decal on cars. i also haven`t found any original 71 cuda with the tire decal for e60 15-they had f70 14 decals. what did the aar and t/a`s have? was it a unique decal?i don`t think so. anyone have more on this i`d like to hear.
all the best
frank
There might be something to this, My 72 6 pack car has an H78-14 decal which was only available on wagons and Cars with trailer tow pack. The sticker is also put on upside down.
