Default Will I have to grind calipers with these 15's?

I know that I must grind the rear calipers with the Weld rims. But will I have to grind them with the Centerline Telstar Rims? I want 15x10's on the back for my slicks but dont want to mess with the calipers. Also what about the Bogards? I can't even find them online to check prices.

Thanx A lot guys.

Email Trevor D he has some centerlines and they required no grinding but I dont think they were 15x10's though.

I'm pretty sure the Telstars will fit with minimal grinding (if any), but you can't get a 15x10 in anywhere near the right backspacing not to stick out a mile. They make a 15x8 that will work (I think the BS is 5").

The Bogart's that PPO has got would fit right on w/no modifications, and are super lightweight as well... ( Performance Parts Outlet).
