Good question, I think GM got Luckey! Knock offs were 1st designed for drum brake cars, BUT guess what, when disc brakes came around the knock offs fit, WOW!
To correctly answer your question, yes 63/4 knock offs will fit disc brake cars, and can be made correct (minus date codes) for 65/66 Corvettes.

Offset of the OE '63 and '64 steel wheels is +0.44". KO offset (including the adapter) is +0.03", so the KO wheel centerline is moved 0.41" outboard, which provides adequate caliper clearance and track increases 0.82"

The '65 and '66 base wheels retained the +0.44" offset, but were designed for adequate disk brake clearance; '67 Rally and optional aluminum bolt-on wheels both have +0.03" offset.
