Will a 325w tire fit on a 12" wide rim?

Hi Guys, yes - to fit 15" wheels on a Lightning you have to do some pretty radical caliper grinding. After that, you can fit 15" racing wheels such as Bogarts, Weld etc. Many, many owners have done this and use these specialized wheels on the track. Now here's my problem and the mistake I made ... I bought my tires - 325/50 x 15 M/T Drag Radials before I realised that these Bogart wheels were for track use only and not deemed safe on the public road, and the whole point of the excercise was so that I could drive ( legally and safely ) to and from the track. So now I am searching for a 15" diameter alluminum wheel that is safe, and believe me, it's proved all but impossible. But I think I may have now found one that fits the bill. Problem is that they only make a bolt patern that will work in a 12" wide rim, hence my original question - Anyone out there who can help? I've emailed the manufacturer, but no response yet.
