… a couple more weekends then.

Looks like custom wheels are the least of your problems. 3 more standard ones to get it rolling needed for quite a while yet. Not easy to judge but the body does look to be rust free and you have some useful new (?) panels.

I’ve got a set of 15x7s on my 220 that work pretty well - minilite replicas marketed under the Legendary Wheels brand (looks like it’s been subsumed into Holley since - https://www.holley.com/products/wheels/wheels/vintage/). They may have something that appeals - I found an eBay seller at the time that shipped free… They’ve got 15x7, 17x7 and 17x8 with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern - though I suppose yours could be later with the changed pattern, if so these are no longer a good option.

Running ~34psig pressure made them reasonable at low speeds - no issues at speed with steering effort.

ETA - here’s the offset info you’re looking for:
