Tire Fit

I have a 72 Dodge Charger and i need to change the tires to pass inspection and i would like to get new wheels also. At my home currently i have a set of 4 tires with a size of 225/55 16. Im not so concerned about them fitting on the rear end but more on the front, will tires of this large size rub when i turn the wheel? i would rather not have to mount them on new rims and find out the hardway that they do not fit. Also what kind of back spacing would be needed on the rim to clear the drum brakes?
