Default Wheels WITHOUT grinding on calipers?

I know what sizes fit, etc....But if at all possible, I'd really like to get a set of wheels, with which, I won't have to grind on my calipers...

I'm just looking for 2 rear wheels, for part time track duty, to hold some either MT DR's or ET Streets...

Thanks,

-Will

Like these two guys already stated, either a set of 16" stockers for the rear or a pair of 15" bogarts will fit no problems.

What about some front skinnies that'll fit without grinding?

I've got a set of "snowflake" wheels for the track. I'm just looking to get some weight off the front.

As mentioned, if you don't want to grind, you have to go with big money bogarts. Expect to pay like 1400 or so for a set. As far as the front goes, you can run 5/16 spacers. I do that only for track use. But I had to grind the **** out of my rear calipers to fit on the draglites
