" how big a wheel tire combo will fit and what the backspacing is?

regular steel amc 14x6 rims with 205/70 fit fine, with a thin ~1/8"
spacer behind the fronts.  they take your hubcaps too.  you might get
away with 14x6.5 and 215s if you get the spacing just right, but
definitely any more and you'll have rubbing on tight turns, especially
over bumps.

i ran 15x5.5 ford rims with 205/75 and they -just- burnished the
trunnions.  dunno the backspacing.
