There are aftermarket 15" wheels that clear the stock (LT1 version) rear brakes. Look at the Bogarts. Pretty sure the Centerline AutoDrags clear them as well, both the LT1 an LS1 rear brakes. There is a "sticky" on the Wheels and Tires Forum on drag wheels. Even with the Welds, a little grinding on the caliper fins is all that is needed.

thanks but I have wheels with a barrel diameter of 13-1/8" where the caliper is. All the wheels you mention typically are ~14-1/4" in the barrel - just enough to clear.
I want to make my wheels work, not select wheels that fit my brakes.
