On a 5.5 inch wheel, there could be issues with wandering and tire stability. A 215/75/15 would be a better fit, and is very close to the stock 6.70-15 in overall size.

Thanks in advance

Walt,
What year 6.70/15 tire?
The rolling diameter in 1952 was about 26.7"
The unloaded diameter was about 28.1"
