Hey HeyRed, if you are running stock 6-lug 15" drum brake wheels, they will not fit over any brand of disc brakes, even original GM 1971 disc brakes. GM redesigned the factory wheels in 1971 to accommodate disc brakes. Take a look at the pics I've attached. Notice the angular profile of the blue wheel. That's the pre-1971 drum brake wheel. Now notice the rounded profile of the black & white wheel. That's the 1971 and forward steel wheel.
