I noticed that the Disc conversion kit from LMC also requires 17" wheels to clear the calipers.

I'm confused now.

According to the LMC web site, chrome steel wheels are 15"(#38-3611). Why is it then that 16" wheels wont fit?

I've got the front axle off a 73 onwards chassis waiting to be installed on my truck. I've also got 16" wheels being widened to 9J to be able to fit 265/75/16 tyres, so your comment worries me.
