It would be best to run the 15x10 for more bit. There is more grinding of the caliper when running a 15x10.

Its the other way around..... there is more grinding for a 15X8 then a 15X10.....


Ive had both.....

The 15X8's(5.5" BS) first with 275/60/15 M/T ET Street Radials....
15X10's (7.5" BS) with 28X10.5 ET Drags
Current 15X10's (5.5" BS) 325/50/15 M/T Et Street Radials...

Really its what ever you want.....
If you are wanting to sat with about the stock tire size a 15X8 or 10 would work with a 275/50/15 radials...

I like the look of a 10" rim better. There are plenty of stupid fast cars on 8" rims, so it's mainly just whatever you want to go with.

I'm running into the same question as the poster. Just wondering what backspacing guys are running with 15x8 draglites, I feel a 15x10 would be good also just don't need a 325/50/15 tire on my car. Want to do as little cutting and fitting as possible.

Yes, you cut the bump stop off. Just like this: Hammer the **** out of the fender too... Until it bends back and you have bare metal showing all over where i diagramed. Sorry, but you should have done some more research before diving into it.

the 325's won't bolt right on, they will take a lot of work to get them to fit, I know I'm running them on 15x10 prostars with a 7.5" back spacing, which is the correct back spacing.
