Wilwood d52 front calipers with 15" steel wheels has anybody done this?

I have a 71 c10 and have disc brakes with ralley wheels. I just changed out the calipers for a set of Wilwood d52 calipers and now my steel wheels hit the caliper. I'm thinking I could buy a new wheel with a different backspace has anyone used a steel 15" Chevy ralley wheel with these brakes? If so what backspace do you need?
Thanks Dennis

I was using a set of stock 4x4 rims with the Wilwood D52 Calipers with no issues, but it was damn close. I have since changed out to a different set of rims and went to 20" rims.

I've had a set of 15x7 truck ralley wheels on a truck with Wilwood D52 Calipers. These wheels only have a 3-5/8" backspace.
15x8 truck ralley wheels have a 4" backspace. So I'm not sure if they will work or not.

The ones I have now are a 4" backspace. Thanks for the info about the 3 5/8"backspace.

I’ve installed a few sets. Out of all I’ve already had one pair rub, but upon further inspection the inside of wheels had just a little bit of rough road grime that would rub every now and then. Cleaned them well and no issues. Maybe an 1/8 spacer may help instead of new wheels.

Did you use a steel Chevy ralley wheel like a corvette ralley and if so do you know what the back spacing is? For what I'm doing a spacer is not an option.
Thanks Dennis
