Disagree without the big red X. That's a killer pic!
Maybe not of your wheels......

That is kind of you to say. That photo gives me goose bumps. I am about to turn 64 and took the tree for the first time a year and a half ago. What might be lost to the casual observer is the Dart is staged and up on the converter. A few moments latter I was hard on the loud pedal and heading down the track.
 
In the photo above, the front wheels are 15 X 7" and have 0 offset. The rear wheels are 15 X 7" with +6mm offset. The front tires are 195/65R15 (25" tall) and the rears are 235/60R15 (26.1" tall) M/T drag radials.

Good luck and please post what you decide.

7" wide wheel, minimum tire 195 ideal 205 or 215 max. 225
4.25 back space may be too deep for your car, I would go with the 3.75 and you still might need a spacer

4.25 is about the max you can go in the front with these Later A-bodies.
I have 15X7 Vision AM Legend with 4.25 BS on the front of my duster with 215/60R15 tires. No rubbing.
I have 15X8 with 3.75 BS and with 245/60R15 on the back I can go bigger with 255/60R15 with no issues as well.

I think the OP made a great choice. I guess I better since it is the same one I made. :) The 195/65R-15s fill up the wheel well nicely and is as close as you can get to a "skinny" on a 7" wheel.
