Default wheels for slicks. what should I use?

I have 24.5x8.5x15 slicks I need a wheel to mount them on and still clear the fenders without cutting or rolling them. I also need them in type R 5 lug. any suggestions?

you have to custom order them in a Bogart wheel style or from Welds. Those 2 wheel companies dont STOCK them so they are special order and consider a few weeks to get them so order now if you need it soon.

15x10 I doubt will clear without a huge spacer and I want to have the car set up for the BFG's for the most part. I just want to see what it will do on the slicks

I love weld wheels but I don't know if I have the budget to be that baller. if I was runnin turbo street or sfwd all year I might do that but for local track events and maybe a sfwd event or 2 I won't be using them much

I have a pair or 24.5x8x15 mounted on 2 cheap motegi 15x7 rims (~$50 piece). they clear everything perfectly.

I'm not sure on the offset, but it's just the standard honda offset.
