Front Tire 69 Barracuda

[moparstud440]

69 Barracuda with factory drum brakes. Going to be putting on a 15x6 front wheel on it with 4" backspacing. Seems 215/65R15 is the popular size. Has anyone tried a 205/70R15? Any issues? How much room do you guys with 215/65 have? Tires are pretty close to one another 26" diameter and 8.5" width vs 26.3" and 8.1" so I'm thinking they should work, but just wanted to see if anyone has tried it first.

This is the 215/60-15 replacement on the left, and the original 205/70-14 on the right. Pretty close in size, and they are both about 26 inches tall. That is about the maximum height that will clear the front lip of the fender.
