Default Needing a quick answer

Am looking at a set of 15x7 American Eagle #211 wheels for the '65. They have both 3-3/4" and 4" backspace wheels available. I'm running 215-65's front and 225-70's on the rear. I may need to move the rear park brake cable mount tab, no problem. Which wheel , if you know, is the better choice? I want to order ASAP! The 4" will better clear the body, don't know about the inside.

The problem is the shape of the spokes, most will hit the calipers without spacers. The only one I found that clears the calipers without spacers are the ARE TTIIs.
