Default Drag radials

I have a 1995 Civic coupe with a JDM Integra Type R 5 lug suspension. The bolt pattern is 5x114.5. I want to get some front drag radials, and keep the overall tire diameter as small as possible for better acceleration.

I've been looking at Nitto or BFG DOT drag radials and the sizes I see that I am most interested in are 205/50/14, 205/55/14, and 205/50/15.

I would like to go with the 14 inch rim, but I need to know if there is a 14x7 inch 5x114.5 lug pattern wheel (steel or otherwise) out there that will clear the larger 11 inch Type R front brakes.

i dont think there are. weld makes drag wheels in 15x7 i believe for the 5x114.5 pattern. for something that size i would run a 225/50/15 radial.
