Chrysler likely ran out of all those 1970 Rims and thought why not use the 5 hole now instead of the 6 hole. Lot of changes during the 1971 build and a lot at the end of the year.

That F-78-14 B.F. Goodrich is a good one Jim. Tire and rim are Ford set-up...good for the 70 Shelby and Boss crowd. Tire has the all important V-1. Tire could be switched onto a correct Mopar rim for E-bodies, but is worth as much or more as is on the Ford rim. Bottle and bracket are reproduction for E-body Thanks! I didn't think it was Mopar, but not well versed on these space savers. Thought the canister looked to good to be original...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

i junked a 76 newyorker one time that had a space saver spare. i can't remember the tire size nor the manufacturer, but the bottle and hold down clamp were very close to the blue color of the hold down shown. i thought it odd that a C-body would have a space saver spare. the size was larger than an F-78, and as the trunk was very well preserved and the car was a low mileage [20something k, but was junked because of severe rust] piece, it sure looked like the space saver was original to the car. the wheel was never used so the tire was removed [what FUN that was !] and since the wheel was full size, a full size tire was mounted then used on whatever we had going at the time.
