they will hang out from under the fender lip....if you are at stock height they should not rub in most conditions...

I've got 205/65R15's on American Eagle 8-spokes front and rear on my '69 Standard. Rear is "stock" height with about an inch of sag. The edges of the tires stick out about 1/4" on each side. Your 215's will be about another 1/8". At stock height, or even an inch or so of sag like I have, probably won't rub unless you carry around a couple of full-size passengers in the rear seat.
