Default Drag wheels/Tires

I know this post has been asked many times but there still isn't a clear answer. I am looking for some Drag Strip only wheels/Tires. I am going to go with Mickey Thompson's P275/50R15s. I really like the Weld Draglite wheels but I really don't want to have to grind away at my brake caliper. Can I just use a spacer instead??? I also like the Weld Prostars also but again the grinding issue. I heard that you don't have to do any grinding with the Bogart Wheels but I am not to crazy about any of there designs. Please leave me some feedback or past experiences with these issues and tires. Thanks.

All 15" Weld wheels will require either spacer and some grinding, or no spacer and a lot of grinding, no way around it.

Thanks for the great information. If I do have to use a spacer...any idea on what size I need to use. Thanks again and can you show me where on the caliper I need to grind away at.
