The 17x9 wil hold the 295 fine the 315 with bad sidwall roll but I have measuered my 67 because i plann on running the 17x9 cobra r's on it down the road and the late model offset is so far in that you need like a 5/8" spacer for them to line up right which I plan to do because the cobra r's look bad *** on the early models and the spacers i am going to get are billet and fit the hub like a rim and then have a hub ring for the rim to center on keeping it all strong. i had planned on a 295 rear and 275 front combo but it is all going to be real tight and the front by measurement should rub at lock steering. Also my rear supension doesn't compress much because of the way i have it set up if my rear suspensions had ful cycles then it would probaly rub in the back on BIG bumps. That is all from measureing on my car so none of it confirmed except i have seen 275's all the around on a 65 and it was on 17x9's he conformed the rubbing at lock but his rears are narrower then mine so although he said he wasn't having a problem with rub I still might.
PS he about $2 to 2500 billet rims on his car to get the right offset. I met him at a car show. Seemed to be a guy with more money then time type guy.
