According to my '73 340 Duster Broadcast sheet, it is coded for 14 x 5 1/2" Rallye wheels from the factory. What type of rim and size of tire would the spare have been?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Probably would have had a plain black steel wheel in the same size and the same tires all around.

Thanks.
E-70 14" Polyglas were on there from the factory. I bought one size larger F-70 14", it won't fit in the spare tire well. That's why I was curious.

you would probably find the stock tire not fitting nicely either. When that generation of A's began in '67, smaller tires (and 13" wheels) were common. You always had to shoehorn a 14" stock tire into the tire well on my Dad's '71 Dart. My 71 Duster had the same issue.
