The original wheels for the truck would have been 6 lug, so even if it's the original 12-bolt, I am assuming you've changed axles. Even if these 5 lug wheels were designed to be the exact same as stock, they would clear disks - all 5 lug truck wheels did (i.e. these would not have the funky pre-71 6 lug inner wheel taper that interferes with the caliper) . I believe it has to be a back-spacing issue only.
