What was the original spare tire in a 74 Challenger?  This is what I have.

should be a black steel wheel (14x5.5" or 14x6.0" depending what wheels were on the car) with the same full-size tire that was on the car when new

Thanks. So then my guess is that a PO put that in to make more room in the trunk or maybe it was cheaper than buying a tire for the spare. I suppose I should try putting it on just to be sure the bolt pattern works.

Yes if its a Ford or AMC version the center hole might not be big enough?
