Welcome to the forum. Head on over to the welcome wagon and introduce yourself and tell us about your car. We like pictures too. This won’t be the best place to ask this question.

Welcome to FBBO
maybe go to the welcome wagon 1st
do an intro & maybe a few photos shared of said car
get to know each other a bit, before jumping right in for help...
a 295/50/15R 27"-ish,15x8-9-10" wheel should fit
either with the correct wheel & backspacing
depending on how high or how low it sits,
make sure it's not too close to the leafs
or will rub on the outside lip, if too low
but they have a decent size wheel well...
if not
a 275/60/15R 28" will fit, a bit narrower & a bit taller
on a std offset 15x8" wheel, again with the proper wheel specs
I don't own a 73 Satellite

I have a 73 Satty (RR Clone). As mentioned above, these are LARGE wheel wells. If I recall correctly, approx. 14" wide. Offset is key. I have 8 1/2" x 15" wheels with 3 1/2" back space. I saved them for 35 years from my old Challenger RT. The tires are N-50 15's. IN my case; however, I have a narrowed rear. If stuffing the largest meat inside the fenderwell is desired, I would suggest getting a wheel fitment tool, like Percy's "Wheelrite". Wheels & tires are not cheap so measuring properly can help avoid clearance issues. As mentioned also, please introduce yourself in the Welcome Wagon first. Good luck!
Go as big as you want.
But don't tell us, no Satellite should need a ladder to get in!! LOL
