Will a late model 15" ford rim fit a Charger?

I'm looking for a 15" rim for the spare tire on my '69. It seems that dodge rims are crazy expensive, and since it won't be seen in my trunk I'm ok  using a junkyard rim. The bolt pattern is 5x4.5 just like the Charger. Is there anything I'm missing?

The problem has always been that the FORD bearing and hub is smaller than the Mopar.
Mopar wheels fit both, Ford wheels often only fit Ford because the center hole that should snugly fit the hub center, is smaller on the Ford.
This was the case for years. Ford may have changed to a larger bearing.
The hub center hole on Mopars is 2.81", basically a tad over 2 3/4". Anything smaller than that will not fit even though the lug pattern is the same.

Damn! Looks like I have to pay the Mopar premium. Thanks for the quick response Kern. :cheers:
