1949 stake bed. . . Which wheels are right?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out which wheels are correct for my truck. When I bought it, it had 16 inch wheels on the front and 15 inch rims on the back. The 15 inch rims had the clips to hold on the hubcaps. I read that a 1949 3600 chevy should have either 15 inch or 17 inch wheels. I wanted to use the 15 inch wheels so I could use the hubcaps, so I got some tires mounted on the split rims and put them on (see photo below). Problem. . . The 15 inch rims fit great on the rear wheels, but they hit the steering arm on the front. Where can I get some rims that will fit on the front AND hold my hubcaps?

Thanks for any thoughts.
