15" weld wheels FD

I want a set of 15 inch weld wheels on the rear of my FD. I'm getting the pettit rear fender flares, and was wondering how wide i should go, what bolt pattern i need, along with what spacer i need.. and any tips or pics on trimming the caliper?

P.S i want them wide

The bolt pattern is 5x4.5".

Are there rules for the class you intend to race in that govern wheel and tire choices?

What kind of tire are you wanting to go with? ET Street or a radial tire?

Well, there is no reason to get a wide wheel when you can only get a 275 series tire and keep a 26 inch tall tire. If you go any taller, it will look stupid.

BFG's are the same.

It won't be enough......... You'll need to either get a regular performance tire under there or use a 275 drag radial with the right offset wheels.
