It's how the wheels are made. The wheel company' make them for the stock wheel that came on the trucks back then. They didn't have rear disc brakes so the tapper of the wheel isn't made for disc brakes. All wheel company's are like this.
This is why most guy's who swap out for the disc brakes go to bigger wheels are a different design.

The truck looks good though.
