Need Tire Advice

I am looking to get new wheels and tires for my '71 Swinger. It currently has 14x6 original Keystones. The current tire sizes are 205/70/14. I am thinking of going to 15x7 wheels. I'd like to go a bit wider in the back (not insane wide). If I go 15x7 wheels I'm going 205/60/15 in front. Any suggestions that would fit nicely in the back?

Being a 5x4 bolt pattern I have discovered that my options are; Crager Super Sports, Mopar Ralley, or Ansen Sprint Slot Mags.

Yes. It also has drum brakes all around. The research I have done indicates that this was the last year for the 5x4.

For getting big tires in the back, you need to measure.
It all comes down to the offset of the rims you want to use

Right now I'm leaning towards the Ansen Slot mag with a 4" back space with 215/60/15 tires.
