Do NOT use a spare wheel. It is not designed for racing.
We can build you a 17x4.5-5" drag wheel...you can see a sample of one of our Bogart prototypes listed on M&H tires site. Here's a video: http://www.mandhtires.com/videos/48_video_php9zetbx.wmv (use their tires as well).
Personally, I would never upgrade to those brakes. For drag racing, it will do nothing for you but give you problems. If you're putting large 275's up there...thats another story. You'll just skid more with a skinny wheel.
Give me a call tomorrow if you need more assistance.
