Yes...I think?? Space saver for E bods...Maybe the 15" Rallye wheel equipped cars got a Rallye spare as well? I see a lot of 14" wheels on 70 B's but very few with 15" steelies..Seems like most 70 B's that had 15's got Rallye's..when I got the black car, someone put Rallyes on it and I had no original wheels..

E bodies would have a collapsible spare which did not use a 450 wheel. No rally wheels for spares. I do not have a breakdown on the rarity of 15 inch tire without rally wheel on B bodies, sorry. Ed

This also affects the steel wheel number (14" & 15"). I tried to crunch the numbers when I had my "450" wheel'd '70 GTX & this is as much of a breakdown as I could figure: T86 = F70-14 "white stripe" tires STANDARD * 40.9% (~2921 cars) T87 = F70-14 w/RWL tires no/charge * 49.9% (~3563 cars) *U84 = F60-15 w/RWL tires $63.25 8.8% (~628 cars) hub caps (14" & 15") STANDARD** & W11 = "deluxe wheel covers" $21.30 * 22.8% (~1627 cars) W15 = "wire wheel covers" $64.10 * 1.8% (~129 cars) W21 = "rallye wheels" (14" & 15") $43.10 * 26.8% (~1914 cars) W23 = "road wheels" $86.15 * 48.6% (~3471 cars) I'm sure it is a pretty small percentage of people that ordered a GTX (other b-body etc.) with a set of $63.25 F60-15 tires & knew they were purchasing a set of aftermarket "MAGS" the day they received the car. HEMI e-bodies & T/A Challengers are going to be the highest percentage of "450" wheel'd cars - 15" tires & "450" wheels were STANDARD equipment!
