When I swapped rears I bought the five-lug version of the same wheels I'd used on the stock rear. No problems at all.
Wheels are 15x8 and the tires are 235/70-15s.

Wheels are American Torqthrust D 105-5761 15x7, 3 3/4BS, 5-4 3/4 bolt. Tires are P225-70-15 Goodyear Eagles.

68-72's are too narrow and so is 70-81 camaro... I think it was '61.5 or '62.5 or something in that neighborhood. I also have a '78 Monte Carlo that is '58 and definitely too narrow.
