Help!!

I have a 1972 LWB Cheyenne with the trailing arm setup. It also has a disk brake kit from CPP that uses the Cadillac calipers. Before, I had a set of 10 inch centerline telstars in the rear but decided to cut the wells out and switch to a 12 inch rim. Now, the telstars cleared the disk brake setup fine but the new wheels do not. I ordered an Eliminator from Centerlines new line of wheels thinking I would not have an issue....well I do. The new 12 inch wide wheels do not clear the brake calipers. I tried to get the wheels to fit by grinding down the caliper but it's just not gunna work.

My question is......does anyone know of a wheel I can buy that has 7 inch backspace, 12in width and 5x5 pattern that will clear a disk brake setup? If I cannot find a wheel that I like.....and clear the calipers, I will have to pull all this disk brake stuff off and put drum brakes back on. I really do not want to let these wheels go.....they look like jewelry.
