What can I fit over Wilwood 6 Piston & 4 Piston Calipers

The only drag wheels THAT I KNOW OF that will clear big brakes is the newer version of the CCW's drag pack. I have seen them on newer Shelbys with the 14" rotors and brembo calipers and they told me that they would clear my Alcon calipers with 14" rotors
when I spoke to them a little while back.
Give them a call, see what they tell you.

After 9 years and 3 Gen II Lightnings I had so many dam rims and tires I couldnt fit them all. I sold the L recently with (4) 18" Chrome OEM Rims with Nitto 555's all around, (4) 15" Bogart D-10 with Hoosiers all around, (Fatty's & Skinnys), (2) 15x10 Chrome Custom Made 1 off Rear Rims, (2) 16" Steel Rims with Hankooks, and (2) 15" x 12" Prostars w/30x13.5 ET Street DR's.
Now I have to start all over
they were all 5x135 except the Prostars that were 5x4.5
I was hoping I could just grab a set of 15" Prostars or maybe some 16" rears rims w/ ET DR's but I guess with the Big Brakes that aint happening hu ? I know the CCW's are expensive maybe I'll just get an extra set of 18" rims like I have now and throw some slicks on them. I can get dam near new Hoosier 275 X 35 X 18 Slicks for $80.00 each on e bay but there a little too short (25.58), I rather go taller than I have now (26.41).
I currently have BRAND NEW 305/35/18 Nitto DR's but we all know they're basically useless , maybe I'll try some taller ET Street Radial II's ???
Thanks
If anyone knows / has a Big HP Big Brake Cobra please let me know what Tire/Wheel Combo you know of for Racing/Street Fun

Great Feedback in info THANKS 
Ya tell me about it, I go through this every winter
Def a thought I guess, Thanks...
Excellent tire and traction but I've had friends burn a set up in one day on the 1320, I have NEVER scene anything wear like they do
(but they do have some GREAT traction )
I tried Nitto's on all 3 Lightnings and never found them even decent
(of course your power level plays a big part)
I may just pick up an extra set of rear rims and throw some ET Street DR II's or full slicks on them and see how that goes

I really have to Thank Everyone for the advise and suggestions
I just sold (6) 15" Rims/Tires, (4) 18" Rims/Tires, and (2) 16" Rims/Tires that all fit my 00 Lightning (the new owner took everything).
I had it all figured out and now I have to start my wheel collection all over
Those CCW's are expensive as hell compared to Prostars or other aftermarket but I guess they may be one of the only choices if I want to go smaller + taller, If someone ever gets a chance to post a pic or give me a Mod# and BS I'll have to keep my eyes open for something used (even just two for the back).
I just dont want to make the same mistake I made with the L and end up with (12) Rims and Tires, and have to switch 4 around every time I want traction on the street. Knowing what I know now (thanks to you guys) I think I'll most likely look for an extra rear set of Saleen Rep Rims 's like I have now (18x10's) and then try running REAL 18" DR's (not useless Nitto's).
I would love to know if I can fit these 345/30-R18's
(I do have a 1" spacer on the rear with the 18x10's 6.5 BS, in theory I think they woudl fit ???)
(you can get a used set cheap enough)
THANKS AGAIN
