Did you convert to 6 lug discs or 5 lug? Also, do you want to run the original style steel wheels/hubcaps, or are you looking for something different?

This thread may prove helpful. Post #4 shows the area that normally causes interference between the disc brake caliper and the backside of the stock rim. Sometimes the interference is so minor, a small amount of grinding on the caliper can solve the problem, or a 1/8” or ¼” spacer between the wheel and the rotor may also solve the problem. If this is a desirable option, you just need to make sure the studs are long enough to provide full engagement with the lug nuts.
