My 64 Polara is essentialy the same, 15x8, 4 inch back space, 275/60/15 and it fits nicely.

Before I relocated the springs and mini tubbed my '65 Coronet, I was able to run 275-60X15 rears on 7" wheels, and still maintain street clearance. The '65 has the smallest wheel well of any of the early "B" bodies. I now have 295-50X15 Dunlops on 10" wheels. Clearance is good, but I am looking for a true street tire in something taller. 29" tall with a 14" section width is my goal.
