Also, if you can't find the correct rims that will clear the calipers, you can pick up a pair of 1" offsets at any auto parts store.
With them installed, the rim doesn't touch the caliper.
That is what is on my 66, and looking at the front wheels, one would never know they are 1" out further than the rear wheels.
