wilwood d52 caliper questions

i plan on running the wilwood d52 calipers on my truck but have a few questions before i commit to buying them. I will be running 15 inch steel wheels on my truck and want to know if they will clear the rim or will they rub? also i am going to convert to disc in the rear so will they clear with the brackets and the steel wheels. Someone have to have these calipers and a steel wheel laying around they can try out for me. Thanks.
