Did the 70 Challenger R/T come with 14 inch or 15 inch wheels?

From what my restoration book says 15x7" Rallye wheels, /6 and 318 engine cars had 14x5-1/2" wheels.

 Unforunatley not much help with the broadcast sheet. I found it glued to the floor under the carpet. I think it came with road wheels but thats the best I can see.

If they were road wheels they were probably 14".

Here's a page from stockmopar's '70 brochure.

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
