It's not UNHEARD of that they don't rub, but I'd say you're pretty lucky. Generally speaking, if you want "stock" steelies and want to stay 6 lug, you need to do what Keith mentions above - 71 and newer K5/K10 wheels will do the trick for your truck, assuming a stock-type single piston caliper. Bigger calipers, not sure. These wheels generally have 4 nubs as a quick ID feature - but, more importantly, they have clearance on the inside of the rime where the caliper resides.
