Good choice, Cragars look good on everything! Although I'd go 15". More tire choices, and IMO...just look better.

So if I go with 15x7" these would work? What size tires comparable to what is on the car now?

Thanks!

15x8 with 4.25 out back is really nice on your car. A 245/60/15 fits really nice. You would have to go smaller up front and can stick to that 14x6 if you want too 205/70/14 is very common, although a 15 would be a little better

That 4.25 Backspace was recommended by a wheel company. Call Cragar

In my opinion, get enough backspacing to keep the tires tucked in will be important. I tried some aftermarket 6" wide wheels 40 years ago on my Dart Sport and the tires were under the wheel opening. I mean the fender would sit right down on top of the outside edge of the tread.
I ended up using chrome rimmed Rallye wheels with painted centers.

This is the only picture I have with those wheels. 8" rears with L60 Goodyear Polyglas GT and 6" front with F70 Goodyear Polyglas GT.

Yes they fit good...14" on burgundy one with G60....15" on the yellow one with 275 drag radial...no mods ..duster has open wheel well

14x6 on front. 205/70-14. 15x8 rear. 275/60-15.

Now you talking welcome back to the old school

If you didn't want to run your torsion bars up so high you could always go to a 205 /75/ 14 and it sits about an inch and a half higher maybe two..but I love the level look..just raised mine up some...adding wheel well trim now....really love those twisters...I'm adding scoops also...
