Default C3 wheel bolt pattern

I have a '75 NOS spare tire and wheel, never been on the ground. Will this fit my '72? I thought about sticking it back in the spare tire carrier (I'm not going for a Top Flight).

True. Good point. But it's just in case of a judged show. I took the loss of NCRS points in 2005, when I got a Top Flight with my '78 pace car. But I refused to take a chance on (then) 27 year old tires, even though there were only 63 original miles on them. I even called Goodyear in Akron, Ohio and they said don't do it. I immediately replaced them on the factory wheels. Damn tire place wasn't able to capture the original air though!
