Hey looking at some 14x6 old school mag wheels. Should i be concerned about them fitting over the disc brakes? (They are the standard 74-75ish a-body style I think)

73-76 A body 10.87 rotors/stock calipers you're good. Hope the offset is right for you

I wouldn't say your good, but chances are good. I have seen problems in the past with the way the backsides of some rims are made. It's not a dia. problem but a caliper to the center area of the rim problem. If it's not square enought there it will clip the leading edge of the caliper.

The 11&3/4" larger stock setup needs 15" wheels
