It varies depending on rim width and offset. Need more information
The 205 75 R15 fit great and look great on a 6 inch rim. My 65 had 5.5 rims from St. Louis. The 205 75 R15 is the modern radial match for the factory 775 15 I'm almost sure. Your 63 was the same size I believe. Mine are older Cooper tires in the 205 series and due for replacement this spring. Been a great set of tires.
in the late 60's I ran 205vr15 Pirelli 528s and then 205vr15 Pirelli cn72s
and finally the then new 215/70vr15 Michelin XWX on 15x7 American torque thrust Ds
the Michelins could have used a little wider wheel and were Ferrari Tires
ran about 3 ATUs pressure for highway driving
nothing handles like an XWX with the steel lower sidewalls
I doubt if you could see any difference looking at them, but you might have some clearance issues when doing a full turn with the slightly wider ones.
Hi, I run 215/70/15 great on road but at full turn you will rub slightly on frame...but if you have power steering , you don't do full lock turns anyway..

The Michelin XWX is a fabulous tire - I've bought MANY sets of them over the years for my Ferraris. They were expensive in the 60's-70's, and are much more so now.

Wow! You were not kidding. Almost $400 each. You can get 4 17” Michelin Pilot 4S plus nice wheels for $2K. That might be the better way to go if you are looking for good handling.

Neither.
Go big or go home. I use 225/60/15s on 7"-wide wheels with full fender lips and no rub issues.
