+12

It's still a 7" wide wheel so no guarantees once you mount tires
A 6" wide wheel would be much safer.

Here are the Rota RB 15X6 on my '66. +20 offset, Large Caps. 195/55R15. I've since put on 1 inch lowering springs in front and body sits right down on the tires with no rubbing even in spirited driving.
