I can't imagine you'd have any fitment problems with the backspace. I've actually been considering putting a 1/2" spacer on mine just to move them outboard a little to match up to the rears a little better. From some angles, they look like they sit way in the fender opening.
That's why I'm asking the BS question. How far OUTSIDE is too far? There are a lot of tires out there and I have noted from 165/80, 165/70, 195/75, 205/70, 205/65, 205/75 and some of the tires y'all mentioned.

Curious what the tallest would be for the 69 Camaro at the front well. My car is already low, Z28, with 235/60/R15 with 15x7 Vintage Wheel Works V40 version of TT II's and they fill the wells good. I'm ready to go for a different look. Going day two. I want to go with a 15x8 rally 4.50 BS and something that will fit for the rear. The rear tires are a no brainer L60 or 275R. Sure seems to be a 50/50 thing with who is running what tire.
