Default 70 gto rim/tire question

I have a 70 gto with 14x7 ralley 2 wheels at the moment.They havent made the 235 70- 14 i currently have for quite awhile. I might jump up to 15" for a better selection and some more tread width.Anybody have a car or know if 15x8 ralley 2 with 4.5 " backset coupled with 255/60-15 will fit on my car without and rubbing issues? My car is stock ride height with front disc brakes.Trying to stick with a close to stock height tire that came on the car. G70-14 which was about 26.8" tall. The 255 60 is 27.1 ,,,,a 245 60 is 26.6". Looks funny when people put too short of tires on these cars. I tried BFG 225 70 14 but looked short to me. 15x7 is also a possibility but i thought a 8" wide tire would look better on a 8" wide rim. No funny looking rolling of the tire side wall.
