Unless you have documents that show your car came with a space saver spare (which would have been one of those funny looking deflated tires on a rim that appeared to have two valve stems, with the canister), your spare would have been a fifth wheel;
By that I mean what ever wheels your car had, the spare should be the same.
If your car was a no-wheel option car, CL (14x7) was what all five wheels were.
14x7” wheels with F70-14 blackwall tires were standard on the Formula;
optional were:
1) Rally II wheels (in the size appropriate to the tire the car was going to be built with; included with F60-15 tires)
2) Raised white letter tires (F70-14)
3) F60-16 (Raised white letter; incl Rally II)
For base and Esprit, the 14x6” wheels were used unless F78-14 or F70-14 tires were opted - both bumped the wheels to 14x7”;
The standard tire on a base or Esprit was an E78-14 (raised white letter optional).
