Default can i fit a 18x7 in the rear of my 66 vert?

trying to decide on some wheels, and looking at a set of foose legends or boyd junkyard dogs,...looking at 18x7 int he rear and 17x7 up front,...

i have 620s and negative wedge kit up front,..with about a 1/3 coil cut
4.5 reverse eye with 1" lowering block in the rear, so its sitting pretty low...wondering if i can jam a 18x7 with a 215/225 40 seriese in the rear,...

if so, what backspace would i need,...

i am not concerned with huge wide tires or wheels,...so please dont give me **** for only wanting a 7-8 inch wide wheel,..haha

Yes, a 18x7 rim will fit easily in the rear.
Backspacing should range from 4.25" to 4.75" for the best fit
