15x7 wheels- fit 65 Cuda?

when I bought my 64 Cuda it came with Crager 14 x 6 on the front with P205 70R14 and 14 x 7 with P215 70R14 on the rear with about 3 1/4 inches of back room. As you can see from the pics, front is fine, rear rubs unless the air shocks are pumped up to 100 psi. But room for more set back.

I asked the guy who sold it to me and he just liked the rear big tire rake--not withstanding the A body had a beautiful rake with/out having to be jacked up.

photos off my phone, sorry for the quality

I'm getting my rear axles drilled for 4.5" bolt pattern and doing the '73-up disc front disc conversion. Anyone know if 15x7 wheels w/4" backspace will fit with little or no mods? I've searched wheel/tire threads but didn't see anything specifically for 65 Cuda/Valiant. Cragar has a new wheel called Eliminator but 15x7 is the smallest size they make. I could also use any imput on tire size. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, Louisproper. And I'm honored to get your first posting on the site. When you can, go to the Welcome Wagon topic and introduce yourself...lots of helpful folks here. I'll be the first to say "welcome!"

Thanks

MOPAR at heart, trying to unload a couple MB -- 380 SLC, 450SLC and a Jag XJ6.

All nice but want to come back to american iron. and I had a 64 Valient signet 200 in college, so this 64 cuda I just got is the first step back.

I am looking for rims and rubber to put on my Baby Blue 65 Custom 100 convertible. Any one have any suggestion or better yet some they want to sell.
