Probably late 70’s GM Camaro they were somewhat common. Any numbers on the rim?

The XA wheel stamp identifies it as;

73 Nova

74 Nova

75 Nova, Camaro

Can't read the date stamp, but you should be able to.

May also fit newer than 75, but my book only covers up to 75.


July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

I dont think they used the BFGOODRICH tire on 73-74 model years

do you have clear pictures of the wheel's date stamps by the valve stem?

do you have a clear picture of the tire's DOT code? (on the back between "[i]Belted[/i]" & "F78-14")

May I hitch a ride on this thread? I just picked up an original space saver. Looking for some info on the numbers. The valve stem info has some rust but I will post some pics of the other numbers.

They didn't use B.F. Goodrich tires on factory installed Mopar spacesavers after 71 that I am aware of, but as stated on GM rims which that one is , they did for a few years.
Looks like a 75 dated GM rim.
The tire lacks the V-1 which is always on a true E-body B.F.Goodrich tire .
To the second poster, yours looks like the real deal true E-body spacesaver tire/rim
