Default Tire/Wheel Identification

I bought my 1971 Trans Am a few years ago and this tire/rim was in the trunk as the spare. I'm restoring an original set of Rally II's for the car now so I pulled this wheel out of the trunk and I'm trying to identify it. The rim is stamped BB near the valve stem but I can't find a date code. The tire is an F-70-14 Uniroyal Tiger Paw redline which looks to be original. It looks like the spare in my old 65 GTO, but I can't find a BB rim code in the restoration guide so I'm hoping someone here can ID the rim and maybe the date and application of the tire.

Looks like a first gen Camaro wheel and tire. I have owned a few ...'68 was FC , but I think they used BB in 67, but on a skinnier 6 inch rim.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to verify that but could not find that code/application. Lots of info on Chevrolet rally wheel codes, but not much on steel wheels.
