Need info about Draglites.

hey guys, i might be buying a set of weld draglites for my TA... anyways, i have been doing alot of searching, and draglites need 7.5" backspacing for the rears in order to clear the brake calipers?? does that seem right?
well the set i might buy are 16x9 or 9.5 with 5.5 or 5.75" backspacing... the tires are 26x11.5x16.... will these fit with that backspacing? also my car is lowered 2"... just wondering will i have any issues with the rear brake calipers, and would i have any other problems??
thanks for the help!

The 16s will fit but i still believe you'll need a 7.5 backspacing. if your rear end was narrowed those size will fit. If im wrong please correct me.

5.5 or 5.75 backspacing for the rear wont be enough.they will rub.youll need the 7.5" backspacing for the rear.
