67 Cadillac disc brake conversion

[carenthusiast]

Hi,
We are converting the drums on a 67 coupe deville to 4 wheel power disc brakes. Slotted and cross drilled also. We want the stock look though and the current rims do not fit. Anyone know where we can find stock looking rims that fit our standard hubcap that will fit around our discs? 12 inch discs. Any info and leads appreciated to what year and where to find would help. So far my search has lead to not much.
Thanks, Tom

Are the hubcaps full disc 15" attaching at outer edges?.
Is it actually caliper clearance you're having trouble finding rims for?.
Are the rotors/calipers factory parts and small bolt pattern or large?.
GM went largely std. disc brake for the '68 B-Body cars so if small bolt pattern, 15" disc rims from 68-70 big Chevys or '68 and up A-Body should work too..
If large bolt pattern try rims from 71-76 B-Body cars or 73-87 trucks, others fit too but harder to find..
Lastly, if all fits but ctr. hub hole too small, being inside the mounting bolts you can cut the hole larger usually without balance problems..

THanks Pete, appreciate the info. Yes we actually did source the disc brake rims from a 69 Cadillac Eldorado that should fit just fine.

'69 Eldorado is a FWD car and like Toronados of the day use unique offset rims/wheel discs..
If the rims coming are actually '69 Sedan/Coupe Deville RWD rims, just be careful on the big/small pattern thing as some 69/70 Non Chevy B-Body cars had the larger bolt pattern..
What rotors did you use, big or small pattern?.
