The back end stiff enough to where the fenders won't cut into the tires when launching?

15x10s will give you more contact patch with that same tire, also with a 10" rim you can step up to the 28x12.50s from either MT or M&H. I plan on switching my ET Streets out for the M&H to see how they hook, I've heard better things about them.

It is pretty stiff with the drag bar & 50/50 drag shocks, but a member here that lives very close just offered to let me borrow his fender roller just in case.

Just remember to heat the paint up a little bit before you use the roller...It softens the paint just enough to keep the paint from cracking. My fenders were rolled with an Eastwood fender roller when I went with the 325 50 R15 M/T radials...They had rubbed a tiny bit when I softened the rear shocks a bit because my wife complained that her ***** were bouncing too much when we went to Ocean City last year! I told her that 34Ds will do that sometimes! Oh well....
