Did K-10s have different brake options?

Just bought a set of wheels and tires for my 85 K-10 and they hit the brake rotors. They’re pretty much the same offset as the factory wheels that are on there. They are US Mag Indy series in 15x9 with -12 offset. cant Find any info on their site but a different site says they fit. So, I was wondering if I have a larger brake set-up.
it has a 10 bolt front axle and 12 bolt rear.
also when I was at the title transfer they told me they thought this truck was originally bought by the military or wildlife and fisheries.

I believe they’re a few different rear drum sizes for the half ton axles but I thought all the disk fronts were the same for the GM 10 bolt and Dana 44 on the half ton.

All the same in terms of rotors and calipers.

My guess is someone at US Mag didn't do their homework very well.

Just to say it out loud, an 85 truck wouldn’t have had a 12 bolt rear, the rear axle should be a 10 bolt. It’s not your issue but at least some of your drivetrain isn’t original.
