Default Need wheels to fit profile

Hi Guys

The brake setup on my DRB is a bit of a dodgy job in my opinion. It all works fine and she stops well, however I don't like the look of the rusted callipers and discs that were cut to size to make them fit the Simmons wheels that are on the car now. They also squeak on occasion when stoping which annoys me

While the wheels are Simmons and very good I prefer the traditional Halibrand type wheels with a single locknut (classic look if you like)
Something like this



Now given I have a Torana LX front end on my car I found a brake kit from Hoppers Stoppers that will be a direct bolt on kit they make for the car and that solves my brake issue, however the wheels don't clear the kit



Below are dimensions of the kit that wheels need to clear.
Its almost as if I need a deep dish type wheel.
I am not so great at this stuff and could use some help in understanding what are the dimensions of the wheel I need to fit this kit

Are there any guys on here that have had to do this before and can point me in the right direction as to where to find some classic wheels that would fit?

Picture of current wheels on the car is included

Thanks for your help
