I'm looking to put 15x7 rims on my 78 Malibu. Will that size fit without any mods?

I was thinking these:

I've been holding off taking any nice photos of her until I get some rims, rubber and new bumpers on her.

Stock 81 Malibu

Rears Only - still running stock rims up front :lol:
Weld Prostar rim: 15 x 8 with 4.5" backspace
Cooper tire: 255-60-R15

No rubbing. There is probably a quarter of inch clearance between the tire and the frame rail.
