1965 Correct spare tire and rim
« on: January 02, 2020, 12:46:50 AM »
Hello, I was wondering what the correct rim size and tire make a size would be for my 1965 March SJ Pre GT Fastback would have been. Also it came with the style steel wheels , would have the spare been the same or option? Thank from your help and for sharing your knowledge.

6.95x14 Firestone, BSW or WSW would be the most typical tire size, K codes would have had dual redline 6.95x14 as the base tire.  A steel wheel or styled steel in the trunk would be correct.  If the car was ordered from the factory with styled steel wheels, there is a high(er) chance that it had one in the trunk.  If the wheels were installed by the original selling dealer when the car was new, it may or may not have come with the 5th styled steel.
