1970-74??? Z-28 spare tire

Not all 70 Z28s had the narrow valve opening, only the early ones did (a set sold on EBAY last month for about $1100), that is why finding them is like hens teeth. As for the color, I would not judge it based on a flash photo. Lastly, the tire (E60-15) is not for any 70-74 Chevy, so unless you are looking for a certain date code for some other brand (Ford, Mopar) the date code is not relevent.

"The hard to find 5/8"x1" clearance hole wheels are a partial production year wheel. As best we could determine at www.nastyz28.com the changeover to 13/16"x1" hole wheels occured around June 1, 1970."

The wheel/tire looks to me like its never been bolted to a car, or had trim ring or center cap installed...
D 16 is stramp by the valve stem hole, the hole is 13/16" X 1"...
Here are some more pictures... Crash
