Default 16" rear rims for drag racing?

For those of us who don't want to go the spindle + weld route (for 15"), what are others using in the 16" rim diameter for drag racing? Last time I researched this I found you had to grind the caliper a bit, no big deal to me. Looking to run a bias ply and making mid 700s for hp at the rears.

My 16" Bogarts fit great but hit the banjo bolt. I had to grind it down to clear. I am currently searching for calipers that have the banjo coming in lower or on the side.

I used 4th gen f-body wheels. You have to "shave" down the upper a-arm a little. 5 mins on each side with a die grinder.

Wow those f-body wheels don't look bad at all. I already have GTO spares, I think those camaro wheels are next. Thanks!
