tire on a 15x7 rim

heres a guy locally selling some thirdgen camaro wheels for 50 bucks. that includes all 4. they are 15x7 rims that came off a 84 camaro. i was thinking of using these for my track rims. whats the widest tire i can run on these 15x7 tires that will clear my rear fender and not rub? i was also thinking of using the other two for the front and run really small thin tires, but i know my stock formula wheels have a different off set up front so would the 15x7 work in front or are they the wrong offset? i've seen some third gen's at the track running these 15x7 wheels with big tires on them.
