Default 15x8or10inch rims for slicks

i wanna buy these rims for my 28x10.5x15inch hoosier drag slicks, i have a pair right now 15x8's and i had to shave the caliper a bit to much, i dont know the back spacing on them, just looking for some that wont stick out to much and wouldnt have to shave alot more off the caliper and also lighter currently ones are steel

He's saying that it shouldn't spark because the caliper is aluminum.

I don't know of any 15 inch wheels that don't require grinding the calipers. Why don't you just grind a bit more off yours? If the wheel goes on and spins then it can't take much more grinding before you have no clearance problems.
