Yes they will fit no problem. You can pick your tire size. From 275 60 15's to whatever. I had 275 60's in the rear and 245 60's in the front. 1970 442. I never had any issues.

Yup, i have a set on my 72 with 245s. Fit perfectly. I am actually considering having the rears widened to 10 inches. There is a ton of room back there.

I have them on my 1971; but I have still not changed the speedometer drive gear. I guess I don't look at it, been over 20 years now !

The diameter of the wheel is irrelevant. What matters is the diameter and width of the TIRES you plan to put on them.

That is a good way to put it: wheel diameter is always less than tire diameter !..….

And you can buy 15" tires that have a smaller outside diameter than that of some 14" tires.
