Exactly the same here. I did not want to roll or cut my pristine fenders/paint, but wanted a bit wider wheels because I had upgraded to a hot rod engine (but still wanted 15s to help with acceleration vs taller wheels). I experimented and was only able to get 7x15 on front and back of either of my '74s...and wanted the car to appear as original/stock as possible. Even then, the tires rubbed until I specifically searched for the specific brand of tires that measured a bit smaller for the size where they rubbed. Then, still had to stiffen my suspension (larger T-bars) to keep them from rubbing in the back on bumps (already had new shocks/struts and tweak the positioning of my Carrera cooler in the front right wheel well as on some turns, the tire rubbed on that.
