Default Photos of 70-72 with 15X8 wheels?

I am thinking of going with 15X8 wheels on the back and 15X7 on the front of my '70, but I can't seem to find pics. Any of you guys run this size wheel in back and have photos? Just wondering how this will look and if there are any clearance issues.

Some photos towards the end of album of my 1972 Lemans with the 15x8, with 255 60 R 15s, no problems unless I were to use the factory fender skirts; wheels have 4 1/2" back space.

scrowl from that picture onwards, there is an image of the inside of the 15x8 mounted on the driver's front

I tried them on the front and there were no clearance issues with suspension but did not drive more than a few feet, as I only have a pair of the 15x8 wheel vintiques, mounted on rears, with factory 15x7 Rally IIs up front.

The rear wheels on my car are 15x8. I believe the backspacing is 4 3/4”. Tires are 275-60-15.
