Wheels for drag radials?

I'm looking at using Hoosier drag radials, (225/50/16). What size and offset 16's would fit without clearance issues.

are the team dynamics pro 1 the only 15in wheels that will clear the calipers?

I searched ton's for 15" rims so I could put mickey T slicks but could not get the right info in time so went with konig feather rims with mickey thompson street radials. But If I could get the right offset and size in the weld racing magnum style I would buy those in a heart beat 15x7 and 15x3.5 rear

Check it

From the pic you posted they look like DRAG SLICKS M/T ET STREET, and not the street radials...

the ET street (radial) i want to use is 24x9x15 (225/50/15) It is the same height as your 205/40/17 at 24in, but it has more sidewall. thats why i want to find a 15in wheel that fits.

I looked high and low for 15 " rims, or I would be running mickey T Full slick right now. I tried 4 differnt size weld pro stars on the front.. caliper is to big

I emailed Bogart to see if they know what offset and width might work in a 15"wheel. they make very nice race wheels.
