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… -Ray From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Merkley 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.
