Default Final Wheel Question

I will be ordering my cragar ss wheels on monday. My last question is would you go with 15x6 or 15x7. Thanks.
P.S. I have a 66 coupe.

What stance are you looking for?
Is the ride height stock?
What tire profile do you plan on installing?

Both sizes will fit, the wheel wide is not as critical as tire size. Backspacing should be 4'.

Many people push the envelope on wheels and tires. Severe tire rubbing problems are the result.

That will work. I don't know how they will look up front though. I have 205s in the front and 235s in the rear. But I'm not running level stance, the front is about 3 inches lower than the front.

Any concern about the wider tire and wheel with manual steering?
