Ray Henry, with your wheel experience, I would like
your opinion. Just how important is the wheel hole in the center being a close
fit on the front and rear hubs? Custom wheels are not
registered on the center, but what about steel wheels that use stock lug
nuts?................MO

While
the Lumina spare might work as a yard wheel, I would *NOT* recommend
hitting the streets with one on your car. The bolt pattern *IS*
different, and my years at the wheel shop can tell you just how disastrous a
small difference in bolt pattern can become going down the
road…

fitment
I put on a mini spare from a Dodge minivan last week when
looking for 14" whitewall tires and found that the studs were too short.
They only came through the lug nut about 2/3 of the way.
When I picked up the spare a few years ago, it was my
intent to stand it up in the rear quarter panel of my wife's 64 Polara 500
convertible but it was too tall. Too bad, I thought it was a brilliant
plan.
btw, I also installed a spare tire from a 98 Chev Lumina on
the 64 Dodge and it also had the same stud length issue but it fit
otherwise. It suddenly made the option of needing tires and rims for
moving a car around in the yard a lot simpler since there are millions of the
Luminas and that sort of car in the junk yards.
