Do you know year or vehicle your steelies came from? If they are from a 71 or newer K10, then they should clear stock disk brake calipers. In 71, C10 wheels became 5 lug, so ya gotta be careful grabbing 6 luggers without knowing the lineage. This kit is 11.5" dia disks - factory 5 luggers are approx. 11.8", so this could be a good choice. The interference that a pre-71 6 lug wheel causes is because of the taper on the inside of the wheel disk - it's angled in and can rub a caliper.
