Default 15x7 with 4" backspace

sorry for another wheel question but i didn't find anything in the search.

i found some wheels i like but the 15x7's only come in a 4" backspace. i want to use them on the front with a 225/60. anyone see a problem with that combo? the car is at stock height right now and will probably be lowered about 1" later. i plan to use a 15x8 w/ 4 1/2" backspace on the rear with either 235/60 or 245/60's. this is on my '66 coupe. thanks guys.

I like to see a 4" to 4.5" on a 7" wide front and 4.75" to 5" on a 8" wide rear. You should be fine.
