Correct 15" Spare Wheel Question, '70 Charger #1217451 04/17/12 12:04 PM 04/17/12 12:04 PM

bill440rt OP top fuel B Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 2,311 NJ, USA	I'm trying to determine the correct style spare wheel, seems to be some conflicting info out there & I'm hoping someone knows the answer & can help me. On a '70 Charger equipped with 15" x 7" Rallye wheels, would the car have a 15" x 7" Rallye wheel as a spare, or a 15x7 stamped steel wheel? I know on a 14" road wheel equipped car it would have a 14" steel wheel. Some are saying 15" Rallye wheel, others are saying 15" steel wheel. Is it a build date issue perhaps? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Both were steel wheels. Justin "CornDog" 1966 Dodge Charger 1968 Plymouth Satellite (Un-Restored "Survivor") 1969 Dodge Charger (W.B.

Dave Where do you think most people got there 450 steelies? By buying people's spare tires.

Not sure where the rallye wheel rumor started, but my thoughts is that is was false. So..... Anyone have an extra "450" wheel? I need one with a mid-'70 (pre-May) date code. Just need one, for a spare. I also have an ad in the Parts Wanted section. Thx!!

Justin "CornDog" Corndog, For a B body you would get four body color 450 wheels with dog dish caps and a black 450 spare. This is how my 70 Hemi GTX is optioned. For an E body you would get four body color 450 wheels with dog dish caps and a space saver spare. For a TA Challenger you would get four black 450 wheels with dog dish caps & trim rings and a space saver spare. Morty
