Default Drag slicks and wheels for 08 Mustang

Does anyone know what size wheels do you have to have on a 08 mustang to avoid hitting the brake calipers. I hear that a 15" wheel will not work. Where is the best place to buy these also?
Thanks!!

Do you want a drag radial or a true slick?

Also I'm pretty sure 16" is smallest you can go without grinding.

Cant beat this then. Its a MT slick and is 27" which is as close as you can get to your stock tires height. So all you would need is an 16" rim with 8-10" width. Its a DOT tire so you can drive to the track on it without getting bothered by the cops.
