on my '70 300 convertible? Mine is missing it's spare tire/wheel. I know it's 15", not sure of width. I think I read somewhere that lots of cars from lots of years all used the same steel wheel size?
What was the factory steel wheel size........

The owner's manual says 5.5 was standard for 300, 6 was optional. 6 also for trailer towing. I guess it's stamped somewhere.

Inside the rim in the center. You'll see 15x6JJ

You mean under the hubcap?

No, inside the wheel rim. The tire must be off to see it.

Bad timing. I just installed four new 235/75/15. Maybe I can make a caliper to measure the width.

You can see the size and part number on this '66 14x6 K wheel.
Download the 1970 Chrysler service manual from www.mymopar.com
Go to page 22-8 Specifications Newport/300 wheel and tire size. The Newport wheel size is 15x5.5 with H78-15 tires, but a double asterist notes that 300s come with 15x6 wheels.

Were all the road wheels 15x6, or did some of them come 5.5 too?
The W23s were 15x6 only. The Magnum 500-style 14" wheels were 14x5.5" for Chrysler Corp use. Fords used 14x6 and 15x7 Magnum 500-style chrome wheels.
Remember that back then, the tire's tread width was usually less than 6" wide. Unless it was a 70 or 60-series "performance" tire.
Enjoy!

Sorry, I meant these Chrysler Road Wheels. Are they all 15x6? Should have included a picture

What years were road wheels 15x7 from the factory?

Sorry. I don't have any. I was considering them for my 1970 Fury because of rust issues with my current aftermarket rims. What size are your rims? Are you going to run 235/70R15 or something else?
