Default 65 front disc conversion

hello
a few months back i posted asking for upgrade advice for my 64-1/2 6 cylinder convertible.
based on all the valuable input i received i decided to upgrade to disc fronts without power.

the car has 4 lug 14x5 rims which i believe are original
i began shopping for front disc brake conversion kits for 6 cylinders and i am finding the information confusing, vague and in some cases
contradictory concerning compatibility with OEM 14" rims.
for example
some vendors say "rims must be 14x6 or larger"
some say "rims must be 14x7 or larger"
CJ pony says "compatible with MOST 14' OEM" but does not offer details on the meaning of MOST

i checked with all of the top vendors and i am assuming all kits regardless of vendor are likely from the same manufacturer
(SSBC, wilwood etc)
i find help from the vendors is hit or miss, some sales reps are not that informed.

i would like to get this correct from the start.
i know this is a very popular upgrade so any advice that will help me get this correct will be appreciated

thanks

I know you said no power, but IF these are any good, it could be an option, and it says fits with 14" wheels.

On the manufacturers page it says,"Complete Front Disc Brake Converion with Original 4 Lug 14" Wheels".

As I have never used I'm not endorsing, just throwing it out there.
