What size is this spare. I can't fit a 15" wheel with tire in my Demon....the car had 14's. And a 14" wheel will not fit the disc brake set up on the rear. I haven't tried the front yet. Just would like to have a spare for emergencies.

Yes, it is a anti spam measure. It is a simple alerter to us MODs that a newbie posted. So we look, and see it isn't a spammer and approve it. It does newbies first posts and then newbies first links they put up.
In this way, even a bored spammer that sits here posting up car questions only to come back later and post spam, gets caught. YEP! They try it all the time.
Welcome aboard! LOL

You can get a 14 to clear the disc set up. Perhaps, the rim needs to be afrom a like car? For disc caliper clearance?
A 15 inch rim will clear on A bodies, but the right off set must be used and your limited in tire diameter.
OH, my spare is a 15 inch rim and the stock tires are kind of big/tall. Currently, I'm running 245/15/60's on the Magnum. Speedometer didn't need a correction. That would be a tire diameter of approx. 26.6 according to the BFGoodrich site.
rim width --section width--daimeter---------revs @ 45mph--max load
7 - 8.5---- 9.8 on 7-------- 26.611-- ----------782 ----- 1753 @ 35 psi

The tires and wheels have already been figured out and are all together and mounted...but the spare was not given any consideration (because it's a spare) now it is on the drawing board since it would not fir the spare tire well. So I did a 14" wheel with matching tire and that did not fit the disc brake setup as I said. So next step is a 15" wheel with a smaller diameter tire too fit the brakes and trunk well
As far as 14 clearing the disc setup...that's a no and is agreed on by Wilwood
So the reason for the post on EBO is that they had Space Saver spares and thought my research would end with a Mopar Space Saver.

A side bar here-If you need a space save-look in the wreaking yards for AMC of the save vintage-they used the same ones as Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth.
