we are working on a 1971 cuda with a stroked 383 and want to know what is the best size rim and tire for this car as a street only car, no racing or hard cornering? thanks Moparts

Yep! With the right offset, you can fit a 15X10 with a pretty huge tire.Smaller (a little) is better though for corners.

I guess I should be a little more specific as I know they will fit the rear no problem, so how about the fronts?

Of course it will. 15 x 7 rallye wheels were a factory option on all B & E bodies in 1971.

Unless you are doing a restoration I'd suggest looking at some larger rim diameters, for better tire selection.
