Want to use 8" rims on 1975 Dodge Dart Sport?

I am wanting to change out my wheel size to 225/60-15 on 8" rims for my rear tires. I have 1" between wheel and leaf springs and 2" between wheel and fender well. Will there be any clearance problems?
Also, what if I would go down to a 7" rim?

Sounds like you'll be tight on the spring side. The sidewall sticks out beyond the rim. -- How did you measure to determine the clearances ?
