SSII wheels

I am looking to replace my 14" rims that are currently on my 69 442.
I have an opportunity to purchase 15" SSII rims that came off a 72 Cutlass for a very good price.
Would these fit with no problem?
Sort of concerned about the difference with back spacing.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

Which size tires would be best for the rims?
They are 15 x 7.
I was thinking 225 -70 -15

With 15x7 wheels I have used the following tires sizes over the years, all with no issues:
225-70-15
235-60-15
245-60-15
255-60-15

If you deviate much from the tire diameter that you currently have on the car, the speedometer may need to be recalibrated.

the '69 Hurst/Olds had 15x7.0" SSII wheels with F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires - a modern equivalent would be the 235/60/15

I appreciate all the help, I love the way the 69 H/O tires look so I'll go with 235/60/15.

15” olds wheels

I have very nice 15”x7” olds wheels. They take the bolt on center caps. They would work on your 69 442. SOLD
