I need help determining the correct (full-size) spare tire setup for my 70 Charger R/T.

When searching for the hold down / bolt, wing nut, etc... there are several options and I don't want to throw money away (like I've done sooo many times).

I'd like to know the correct setup (kit) for my 70 Charger R/T with a full size spare.

Thank You Very Much for any help

Mike

Might be important to know if it is a 14" or 15" car.

Doesn't matter....hold down hardware is the same regardless of tire size. PM me......I have a restored set that is ready to install.

Still would be helpful to know, spare could be 14 x 6(327) rim or 450?

I believe that on a car that had 14"wheels the spare tire rim width was 14x5.5. On a car with 15"wheels I don't know what the rim would be.

the spare wheel size matched what was on the car: 14x5.5", 14x6.0" or 15x7.0"
