Mo,
You say you are looking for a smaller diameter tire for clearance. Looking at my tire chart for tire diameters;
225/75R-15 28.3" dia.
215/75R-15 27.7" dia.
205/75R-15 27.1" dia.
Some of my charts say there can be as much as .2" variation depending on mfg. of the tire, wheel width, and tire pressure.
Right now I'm running the 215/75R-15 Cooper Trendsetter SE up front with 285/70R-15 BFG TA in back.
I ran this size on the front of both my 63' Plymouths with no rub issues. I don't think the fender openings are that much different.
