« on: June 27, 2022, 03:37:08 PM »
Is the 7.35-14 space saver tire correct for the April build Boss?

That is the correct size for a 69 Boss 302  but not for a Boss 429

Size is only one detail to check for since the assemblies were made for other car makes and models

Thanks Jeff.  Is there any distinguishing features on the rim itself?

The most obvious IMO is the incorrect double valve stem used on latter year cars space savers.

What I'm seeing with the 7.35-14 tires is a single letter stamp... such as "C" or "E".  Would "C" be correct for my build?
