I have also looked into this conversion, and want to stay with stock wheels.

I understand that a spacer can be used to move the stock wheel out 3/8" to clear the caliper.

Classic Performance Parts web page shows a tech article and the installation instructions are posted for a 55 -59. Well worth the read if you are considering this conversion.
