If it does, it will be very slight. I run a set of 245/60/14's on the front of my 67 for a couple of years and it did rub in TIGHT lock-to-lock turns with the suspension loaded pretty hard. But it wasnt all that bad.....

I have 215/70R14 (don't know width or backspace) and they rub in full turn.

It'll be close, if you have a good front suspension with new coil springs, and haven't lowered the car, you should be OK. I run the same tire on a 15x7 rim, and it doesn't rub at all.......KZ
