Stock 6 lug wheel for after mkt disc brake on my 58 Apache.

What 6 lug 15 inch wheel will fit over my after mkt disc brake. Right now I am using a spacer to clear caliper, which makes me uneasy. The lugs just barely clear the stud. If I can find a set at the bone yard here in NV it would be a plus. I have a 58 Apache 1/2 ton with a SBC for power. All answers are appreciated as I will have more question in the future.

1973 was the first year for factory disc on trucks.

Might consider longer studs and run the spacers (I understand it is a personal decision with them). I ran wheel spacers/adapters for years doing moderate/hardcore rockcrawling w/no issues (on 33's, 35's and 37's), as well as, all the folk i wheeled with and would not hesitate to run them again if i needed to. Key to anything wheel related is torque them properly.

The 1971 model year was the first year for chevy/gmc disc brakes.
Look for 71-87 oem 4x4 steel wheels with 4- nub centers.
