What center bolt valve covers do you use for big rocker arms?

I just installed my Comp Cams Hi-Tech Stainless 1.55 Roller Rocker Arms. The stock center bolt valve covers' inner brackets come into contact with the rocker arms. What aftermarket valve covers can I get so that everything clears?? Thanks.

I know a lot of people who have cut the support brackets out of the way on the stock valve covers. IMO, GM put them there for a reason so it's a bad idea, which is why I opted for just the CC roller tip rockers.
