Welcome to VV!!!!

On my lowered '66 coupe I put 225/50-15 all around on rims of a similar size and offset. I'm having rubbing in the front (and am unhappy with the driving 
feel) and am dropping the front down to 205/60-15... the larger tires fit fine in the back. 205/60 should fit all around without issues.
