Default 15x8 or 15x10 for 28x11.5x15 ET street? Is this enough tire?

What Size wheel would be best for a 28x11.5x15 ET Street? 15x10 or 15x8. I see on Jegs site they list a 8" rim for this tire, but I was thinking I would need a 10" rim. Also will this be enough tire for a h/c/3.73 a3 car spraying out of the whole? I'd like to go to a true slick, but I do not want to drive the true slicks on the street. I think this is the best compromise. Opinions?

ET Streets:
28x11.5x15 for 15x8
-Only about 9" to the ground

28x12.5x15 for 15x10
-About 10" to the ground

I'm leaning towards the 28x11.5x15 ET street. Et Drags aren't an option for me. Currently the 26x11.5x16's will not hold it on juice. They are plenty on motor with the vigi 3200 in there.

Well I went ahead and ordered the 15x8 welds and 28x11.5x15 et streets. Hope they will hold it on the gas.

How did your car do on Sunday? I am Clint's wife, the one that bought the DS from you that night.
