I ran 16 X 6 with 225 50 16's on the front of my 65 Cuda and no problem. they didn't even come close to rubbinmg, These rims had a 4.25 back space, and the spot that was close to rubbing was the when the wheel was at lock the tire was 3/8 on an ionch from the sway bar.

I ran a 235 55 16 on the rear my 65 Cuda no problem. The rims had approx 4.7 back space and 6 inch wide. My rear end is also moved back about 1/2 an inch.

 I have a disc brake / upper A-arm setup from a 74 Duster that I want to put on my '64 Valiant.  I'm told this makes the front track wider.  Does anybody know how much wider it is? 
The reason I want to know that is to lead into my real question.  Will 205-55R16 tires on 16" x 7" wheels with a 4" backspace fit the '64 Valiant after the disc upgrade?.  It's currently rolling on 215/70R14s on 14 x 6 SBP wheels with 3-5/8' backspace and the 9" drum setup.  They fit OK, but if the disc conversion sets the wheels out I'm not sure...... 
Does anyone know, or what wheels/tires do you run on early A's with the 73-76 disc brakes?

Thanks!
