Default Smallest rim with Cobra rear brakes

I have 2001 cobra brakes, 11.65" on the back and want to buy an extra set of rims to put some drag radials on for track days. I don't think 15" rims will clear the brakes, can any one confirm? I wanted the tallest sidewall I can get and 15's would allow that.

Certain 15" drag wheels will fit over the Cobra rear brakes. I was talking to the guys at Holcomb this weekend, and they said they could order them. I should have gotten the specs on the backspacing and brand, but didn't even think about it at the time, since I'm not ready to buy yet. But I do know they exist.

Stock 15's will not work though.

I guess I will take the wheel off, do some measuring and see what I can figure out. If in doubt I will just look for a 16 or maybe a 17.
