I used a similar kit on my 57 GMC.  The wheels I used were 15x8 
stock wheels from a 78 4WD Chevy pickup.  Plenty of space for the 
calipers without needing the 1/4" spacers that came with my brake 
kits.

On my 50 3100 Chevy I went with a front disc brake kit from Chevy Duty. Im 
very happy with it but what size wheels fit up there? Im worried with 
clearance and want to go with either 15 or 16 inch custom wheels but am 
unsure of what widths I can go with and still have full clearance. Ideally I

would like to go with 7 inch wide tires, but then i dont know what back 
spacing I would need. What have some of you done? What size tire did you put

on the wheel?

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Rob
