Torq Thrust TTO 15x8.5, 3.81 back space, wit 275/60-15 tire.
Will these fit under my '63 Dodge Wagon with any rubbing?

Likely not enough backspacing.
jack the car under the leaf spring so it’s at ride height with the rear wheel off and measure where the hub is compared to the inner and outer wheel house edges. Then you will know what offset you need.

I don't know if the wagons are different than the sedans ? My '63 was close on the inside, with a 4.5" BS, so I'm thinking the 3.81" should clear inner side well. There seemed to be enough room to the outer side for fitment, but we weren't checking it with a 275/60-15. I plan on using a 15" with 3.75-4.0" BS, and running a 28/10-15" Cheater Slick on mine...

Agree with R413. Most say 4 1/2 bs on an 8/ 8 1/2 wheel works best, so that wheel is almost 3/4" closer to the fender. It might work with a narrower tire. You should have plenty of room to the springs, not enough on the fender side.
