255/60 should fit fine, based on my '64 Savoy wagon. You might get a 275/60 in there, but that's a bit wide for a 7" rim; 8" is better for a 275.
Biggest tire I've run on an early B wagon was 285/70R15 on 15x8 Mopar steelies on my '63 Savoy, but I narrowed the rear axle and it still they were a tight fit.

I'd use a 255/70x15, if you can find one. Thats what I have on my 62 savoy on the back, on a 15x8 ramcharger rim. (I like the height, to fill out the ridiculously long wheel well opening.)

Yup, also a good size, and the sidewall height is more era-appropriate.

62 Dart wagons (and Plymouth wagons too,) have a more open wheelwell opening than the 62 Plymouth sedans. You might be able to get away with more tire on a wagon, but you are width limited by the seven inch wheel
IF you have room for the height, I'd use 255/70s, if not, then 255/60s, a good size for the sevens.

i have the 275/60's drag radials on cop car wheels for the hornet ... not a chance thay getting in there .lol
thats what im looking for right there. that will look nice stuffed under the wagon. and enuff sidewall to ride nice.... sweet car btw
next day.... never had amazon do that before.... these should do nicely on the 15x7 steel wheels.
would you mind taking a tape to them tail lights and tell me how wide that are? wondering if i could make them work on the dart...
