Modern skinny spare for older mopars

It's in my 68 Barracuda and the spare tire cover sits flat on the floor.

Note that earlier Cherokees had a 4.5 bolt pattern and matches my converted brakes. If your 71 has the original 4" B.P., this won't work for you.

Anyone with the SBP can use a skinny 14" X 4-1/2" wheel with a skinny tire and gain some room. Not a 70 series tire but the earlier 78 or 80 aspect tire. I consider my spare just for emergency use to get to a safe place at a slower speed.

Thank you so much. I went to a junk yard and found a spare in a mid-60's dart for $20 and ordered a firestone E155R14 which has a 6.2" bulge width which is perfect for my 71 and probably most A bodies...not that you care but perhaps it will help someone else looking too.
