I am not 100% sure about this, but I do not believe that the stock original '66 wheels will clear the disc brake calipers and rotors.
BUT, there are a few places that make OEM style wheels that will clear the brakes and still use your stock caps.
Here is one source for the wheels:

Take a look at this thread;

Dino did convert to 5-lug on this truck, but used aftermarket wheels to keep the stock caps.
BTW, I have family down in the area of Texas. We have a family farm just a few miles east of Fredericksburg.
