I have the same tire under mine. I got some room on the inside to get maybe an inch more tire. Would need more back spacing to do it and then search the section width to pick a tire. The wheel and tire combo of width, tire size and tire section measurement will give you the answer on the max.

They were only on there to roll the truck around, but those are 275/60R15's on 15x8.5" wheels with 3" backspace.

Heres my 64 with 275.60.15 on the rear. when aired out I have an inch or a little less on both sides of the tire.

I have 285x70x15 in the rear they fit but I would not recommend them. they are extreamly hard to find, very expensive and hard to change if you have a flat..
I have heard the 275x60x15 is better
