For best ride and handling you will want to get wheels with as near stock 
offset (0") as possible.  A 15 X 6" wheel with 3-1/2" back spacing will 
have 0" offset and should fit perfectly.  I have these on my '65 
Greenbrier.  A 15 X 7" wheel with 4" back spacing will have 0" offset but 
might have problems with rubbing at the front steering arms--4" back 
spacing should still clear the rear A-arms--you will need to check 
both.  Some 15 X 7 wheels are available with less back spacing (which moves 
the wheel center outward) but you will have to test these to make sure that 
the tires you intend to run do not rub the fenders.
