will any 68 camaro steel wheel fit disc brakes?

No, the backside of the wheel is different than those with disc brakes. As a matter of fact I have not any 14" non-disc brake wheel to fit any disc brake cars, even the 69 and later single piston floating caliper models. I ran into this last month while putting a set of wheels on a kids 74 Nova that had front discs. The front wheels were both 14 x 6 with the same backspace but one of the wheels was not made for disc brakes. I got to checking it a little closer and found the difference lies in the actual "hoop" of the wheel. The non-disc brake one only has about a 2" lip step up to where the "spider" or center of the wheel welds in, whereas the disc brake models have about 3" lip. I will try and get some pictures later this evening showing the differences.........RatPack.............
