    Will these fit?

    front
    15x7 offset -6, backspace 3.76 tires 215/65/15
    back
    15x8.5 offset -25, backspace 3.77 tires 235/60/15


    What's the offset and backspace range for a Comet?

    You can usually get away with centered backspacing on front and rear wheels. i.e. 15x8 wheel needs 4" backspacing. 7" in front and 8.5" out back should be fine, but i'm not 100% on your backspacing.
    The front and rear wheels you chose may be a little tight, but might be ok. The rears have too small of a tire on there. You can put a 245/60 on there and still have clearance. I ran a 265/50r15 on my old maverick with 8" wheels and had plenty of room.
    Hope this helps.
