Default Draglites--Look inside!!

I'm getting a set of draglites in a few days.. The question is which size are you all using. Should I get 15x8 or 15x10?? I don't want any tire hang or have to bend the fender.. Also what is the best backspacing to get? thanks for the help as always.....

depends on what tire youre gonna use whether you have to do any trimming or not....but most people use a 15x10 w/7.5" bs. most common tires wont need any trimming...especially if ur car isnt lowered.

it fits on a car that isnt lowered without too much trouble. if you have stock rear control arms (which im sure you dont) they will need to be notched. at stock ride height...a little trimming or a little hammering will be all thats needed. a lowered car is a different story.

i had these on my car at one point when it was stock ride height. i personally think they didnt look good...hung out the sides...car sat real high. but if the proper work is done to tuck them in...it will look bad ***. i believe it would require even MORE backspacing than the current 7.5" that most people run. at 7.5" bs i dont believe they will clear the quarters even if they are rolled. i have looked into this a lot. i want that tire on my car...but i like my car to sit low...and it will be a task to get them tucked in there nice. it may be a winter project with some bogarts or holeshots...but we will see.
