I have a quick question, I was looking into some MT Drags, but I'll need a 15 inch rim. Would it be a good idea to get a wider rim then say a stock 15 inch stock mustang rim?

I would say, yes.

I see many run a 9" wheel and would put allow some additional contact patch. You can go wider, say a 10" wheel, but don't know much about M/T's or DR's in general. There may be some clearance issues with bulging sidewalls that are soft, so would do some poking around to those that are into the 1/4 mile.

PS. Thanks, Kingnut!
