I've got a tire question (for my other Mopar)

Looks like I am going to have to go to 7" wide wheels on my 66 Fury to accomodate a disc brake conversion. I have an almost new set of 215/75/14's that I want to use. Any thoughts if this tire would be safe on a wheel this wide?

I bought the tires at Sears, but because this isn't a stock size wheel for they car the little book wouldn't tell them if tire was to narrow.

I tried to get him to look at other applications that had this rim, but he wasn't interested.

Any advice is appreciated!

-Vic
