Rear wheels for the track

I need to get a set of rear wheels for drag racing. Something I can mount a set of slicks or ET street bias plys & since a 15 inch wheel wont clear the calipers (not grinding my calipers) I was thinking of something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-98-99-CAM...item2ebc66fbbd

I know I would get more sidewall with a 15 inch wheel & would rather go that route but without grinding the calipers might be stuck going with 16s.

for a low buck setup those will work fine. Thats what i run and lots of my buddies run on there cars. FWIW we usually pay less then 50.00 a piece for those at the local junk yards.

Uhhh, no. There are several drag wheels that are a direct bolt on.

I bought my Race Star Dark Stars for 900 shipped to my door bnib. also Weld RTS can be had for a little more money. How much is your budget? and BTW i tried the rear rims on the car and i don't have to grind anything if that helps, good luck with your choice..
