With that size you have:
section width: 8.07 in
diameter: 24.68 in
height: 4.84 in

Don, I currently have 14x6 rims running 215/60/14s on my 62 Lancer
front and rear with no rubbing.  Compared to yours my numbers are:

section width: 8.46 in
diameter: 24.15  in
height: 5.07 in	(obviously because of a 1" smaller wheel)

So yours should fit just fine assuming the right backspacing.  I
believe mine are 3.5" for the 6" wide rim.
