Did 1967 GT350s come with a matching spare? Would it be a steel wheel or a Magstar?
My hub cap car came w/a steel wheel spare... My gut recollection is only 4 Magstars were provided, and a steel wheel was used for the spare...I know many may have added a 5'th Magstar for the trunk. May take an older guy than me to confirm... I'm only 60!
'67 Shelby's were shipped from San Jose with 5 matching wheels; 5 Steel wheels w/4 wheel covers, 5 Mag Stars or 5 aluminum 10-Spokes.
Also each of those 3 wheel types had it's own style lug nut and wheel center and sized emblem

JD is the man! different lugs for each wheel style...I assume that means different lug wrenches for each as well?

JD, thanks for posting that link to the older thread.
I re-read it again and it is now clear to me there were only two lug wrenches for 1967.
3/4" for the MagStar wrench and 13/16" for the steel rims and the 10-spoke wrench.

It wasn't clear back in the day ether. You needed a jack with a 3/4 drive for the Magstars to match the wrench and a more typical jack with the 13/16 drive for the steel wheels and Tenspokes and its wrench. There was a time when the wrong jacks were mixed up on Magstar equipped cars in which case Ford suggested sourcing a appropriate lug wrench locally (hardware store etc.) and reimbursing the customer for the purchase to solve the problem.
Wow! This is terrific. Thank you JD and Richstang.
