sure...I know 69`s had discs as an option...I have the factory discs on mine , but I use those pesky Buick 14 x 6 rims... so I dont know which codes if any...unless they all fit? But some should... so some (if not all) Rallye ii`s should fit...
Careful what you buy. All rally II wheels do not clear disc brakes. My 68 has factory disc (4 piston) with original JC code 14x6 rallys. I bought a nice set of powdercoated 15x7 HW code rallys and they do not fit with 1st gen disc brakes.
Performance Years claims the 14X7 repros fit but the 14X6 don't. But the bigger issue is there is a worldwide shortage of repro 14" rally II's. Nobody seems to have them in stock. Maybe the Chinese are buying them up.
My aftermarket kit just needed a slight grind on a casting ridge on the calipers to fit my 14 x 7's. The clearance is minimal but have had no problems.
It's the caliper brackets that are scraping, not the calipers. I'm nervous about grinding on the brackets since that is the structural component of the brakes.

grin only what you need to!!! general rule in some engineering fields is at least the same amount of material as the size of the bolt that holds the parts together. i.e. 1/4" for 1/4". and so on and so forth. should be no problem taking an 1/8" from that if needed.

due to budget cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been disconnected for non payment.
can you provide a frontal view of the caliper to see how it mounts up? might be able to give you a cheap solution to this. such as a grind or cut in right spot for clearance!!!

I know where I need to grind (or bend). It's the gold bracket locations I circled. I'm still thinking about that option. I'm not sure how much grinding it will require. And those brackets go for about $100/pair, which also makes me nervous. I've still got a few months of winter to ponder my problem till I need to mount some wheels.
I would advise not to do any grinding to anybrake parts! Think about it. Do you want to run the risk of having that ground down part fail because it was more important to have some nice looking wheels on the car? Find some wheels that fit.
If they touch in a static condition, they will be even worse when the car is being loaded with weight and/or acceleration. Step up to 15s, you won't regret it.
14X7 Cragar SS wont fit with disks either. Ask me how I know!
I just bought new 14x7 Cragar SS. They are installed and working with front disk brakes.... You guys must have bought the wrong brake kit for these applications.
I have the exact same situation. My rims fit on the front but they won't turn without scraping the inside of the rim. I would settle for plain jane 15" rims just so I can roll it around but I havn't found a cheap set.
I wonder if a wheel spacer would work ...at least it might let me roll it around?
