Default Going with 7” wide wheels in front, ‘66 Tempest

I scored a great deal on some 7” X 15” Rally II’s. I’m picking them up this afternoon and I’ll check the backset. Right now, I have 6’s in the front and I’d like to see if I could fill the front wheel wells a little more. With the 6’s, the wheels look like they could be outboard more. The backs look great with 7” wheels and 255/60/15 tires. On the front, I presently have 215/70/15’s. I chose those because the tire height is exactly the same as the rears. I see on Tiresize.com that this 215 tire fits a 7” wide wheel. Alternatively, I can go a little wider with 225/70/15’s. Only 1/2” wider but sometimes that makes all the difference. They are only 3/16” taller overall.
Will I have any fitment issues? I don’t want any rubbing. I just want it to look more balanced. I looked at 235/60/15’s but they are a full inch shorter than the existing tires. Definitely don’t want that.
