235/50/15 and 225/50/15 Will this work?

1975 Carrera, I like the Toyo R888 tires.
I can get them for about $1000 for all 4

225/50/15 front
235/50/15 rear

Can I expect rubbing? Or will these fit ok?

Rims are 7x8

Alternate suggestions?

Thx

what are you currently running? I've got 205/50 up front on 15x7's w/o issues and 225/50's on 15x8 rears (which fit w/o issue too, would be concerned with front fitament on 15x8s with any tires, unless you have experience with them already.

You'll be ok, ideally fronts would be 8ET27 and rears 8.5ET10.6 but you would need custom aftermarket wheels to do that.

Roll your fenders up front and they fit fine. I’m running -1.5° of camber up front & -2° in the rear.

That's what I'm running. I have some small spacers as well.
