They will work if but MAY have some slight rub at full lock.

The rub at lock is begign. It hits smooth surfaces on the frame, including carriage bolt heads, or it rubs on the sway bar.
I agree they should fit easily, especially on a 63/64.

My concern with this tire size is there does not look like there is much room in the rear tire well. I cannot find tires I want in a smaller size

Is there much room in the rear wells with the 205's. I have stock G78's on the car which are a totally different tire

I'm running 225/70/15 on my SWC.
They rub when I turn full right or full left. Even when going slow.
I have never had them rub once I get up to speed.

I have 215/75-15 on my 63 swc and my 64 conv. They work fine on both cars. I think the 215/70's will work good for you.
