They will fit over the drums no problem, but side-to-side with tires you could have some rubbing... It's all gonna depend on the backspacing.
Note that not all ralley wheels have the same backspacing.

Always liked the rally wheels, thinking of having a couple made for my ride.

I have 15x8 ralley wheels on two different vehicles, my '71 Camaro, and my '69 Suburban. I run 235-60-15 on the Burb, and 245-60-15 on the Camaro. Depends on whether you want the tire to just fit, or give a bit wider tread pattern.
You can see in this picture how the sidewalls don't have a lot of bulge on the front where the 8" ralleys are. The backs are 10" ralley with 275-50-15:

These are 15x8's with 255x60x15 tyres on my 68.No rubbing.Not sure of the backspace though.
