Wider Rear Tires

I'm looking to put some wider tires on my '76. I was curious to see what you guys have run into with what will fit and what will not. I don't want anything too crazy wide. I don't want to have to tub it or narrow the rear, either. I want to run 15" or 16" wheels. So what size tire and what backspacing have you had success with? Pleas post pics if you can. Thanks, DOOCE

Malo, how much drop do you have in this pic? Do you have a rear, under the bumper shot? Thanks
