Default 15x8 or 15x10

im looking into a set of draglite's from either jegs or summit. I have a set of 26x11.50 et streets. question is, What would be better for me to buy the 8 or the 10" wheels? also will i have to pull off the eibach lowering springs and replace with the stock springs? or better yet will it be beneficial for me to do so?

Agreed, 15x10. You can always go bigger or smaller on the tire if you want. With 15x8, you'd have to make the jump to 15x10 later on if you wanted to get much bigger with the tire

I would also suggest the 10" wide wheel. When the day comes that your making more hp and want to go up in tire size, you wont have to buy new wider wheels.

I ran the exact tire on a 10" wide wheel and got a 1.50 60ft in a 3400 lb stock internal car. It's a good combo.

BTW, I like the 55 in the garage!
