I don't know the '64 specifically but in general, 17's fit older MOPARs fine. Backspace will matter for fit in the fender wells but it shouldn't be too sensitive. Don't go crazy on tire size.
As a guess, which I hope others will confirm/correct, I'd go for around 4" or a bit less backspace on 7" wheels. 225 or 235 width tires should be a safe fit. One consideration is wheel width and low profile tires. With lower profile tires, wheel width needs to be matched closer. 8" width and around 4.5" backspace may work better with the tire sizes you will likley use.
If you have a buddy or a tire shop that will loan you a wheel/tire its easy to verify fit. That's what I did on mine.
