Jack base does not go into spare tire

What does your jack base measure?

My 67 jack base is too burried under car show people's in the trunk but the center index hole on a stock steel wheel is 2.25 ID give or take. If your Ralley wheels measure smaller than that or your jack base measures larger than that you have the answer to your problem.

I don't know the ID of 5x4.5 wheels but I know it is larger.


Another thought, is your spare tire significantly larger in diameter than the tire well?

And there are different length carriage bolts.

When I went to my skinny spare the OEM bolt was too long, and I bought a shorter hardware store carrage bolt.
