Your only clearance issues will be with the rears. I've run this combination on a 1966 Cuda that had been converted to big bolt pattern. Even a 255 60 fit in the wheel well on the cop wheels. However if your using any kind of adapter due to small bolt pattern hubs/axles it's a no go. Or if your using a "B" body 8 3/4 rear or an "F" body 8 1/4 or a Dakota 8 1/4. With those back tires they will rub the inside of the rear fender well in and out of every driveway on the compression side. More rubbing with more passengers/weight. Never experienced any exterior lip issues with the quarter panels at any time. Car was generally a straight line vehicle so can't comment on rubbing issues under high speed cornering.
I just tried this on a 64 dart using a 7 1/4'' backspace 15x7'' chrysler wheel.Used 235-60-15 on the rear and the 215's on the front. The front lower corners of the front fenders had to be trimmed. The rears rubbed on the wheel lip(that I later rolled) on the driver side only.BUT both tires rubbed the outer rear wheel tub up inside the quarter pannel.The rubbing was in turns and dips in the road.This was with stock 50 year old rear springs. If I would add a leaf and raised the rear about 2'' I think all would be fine. I had a set of 6'' chrysler steel wheels that worked on all 4 corners without making any changes to the rear springs instead of using the 7'' rims. Just a thought..

I know I'm right....
Where did you get 7X15 on 4" BC? That's a new one if it was stock on anything.
