Does anyone know if the spare tire for a 75 is a full size rally wheel or a smaller wheel (donut)?
Thanks,
Rich

Full size tire and wheel. I believe it was '78 when they went to the donut spare tire.

My 74 is full size rally wheel. I am sure 75 was the same.

The space-saver spare was introduced in '78, but not all cars had them. All of the Pacers did, tho...a bright yaller wheel in the beginning, then changed to a black wheel.

Yup..the 78 and later had the donut...I have mine (all original!!) and although it holds air, I hope I never have to use a 30 year old spare tire.

That's interesting, mine has a full size standard GM wheel spare in a full size tub.
