Default help!!

i am trying to 15x7 in rims on my 66 mustang. i got these wheels for free. they have 4 1/2 in backspacing. i plan on using 186/65/15 on the front of my stang, but i was wondering what size tire i can run in the rear. i would like to fit the biggest sise tire withiut having to modify the wheelwells. Can i fit a 225/60/15 or will i need to run less backspacing? what about 215/60/15? where can i find wheel spacers if i need them? any help is greatly apreciated.

15x7 4.5 backspacing will hit the ball joint in the front.

IIRC the most backspacing you can run on a 7 wide wheel is 4.25 so you would need a .25 spacer available at most stores. I would run 215 60 15 on all 4 corners.
