Default Weld Pro Stars 15x10 or 15x8?

Im running the greg weld 15x3.5 in the front, but i dont know whether i want to run a 15x8 or 15x10 weld pro star in the rear. I dont want to mess with the quarter panel lip if i dont have to. I also probably need to mention i plan on running a m/t et street drag radial. I have ran a 275 et street on my stock 17's, but i either want to go to a 315, 295 or the 275 with the bigger side wall obviously. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I run 15x10s with 325/50r-15s and don't have my quarters rolled. But I am going to roll them because they do rub if I hit a big bump, plus I'm going to a 315/60r-15 tire anyways, so they will def have to be rolled for those.

could any of you guys provide some further clarification on why to get 10's instead of 8s?

My questions are geared more towards, hooking up with a mild build car like myself and just looks alone arent enough of a reason to spend the extra on the 10s. Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide

For one, 15x8s look really gay. For two, a 15x8 wheel severly limits your tire choice. A 15x10 wheel will allow for a broad selection of tire choices, also providing a larger contact patch for the tire you choose to mount to it.

Probably, depending what size tire you're going to use!
