Default What size drags will fit?

I am getting a set of 15" drag wheels for my 02 GT, I need to know what size will fit? 15x8, or 15x10 or what? I would prefer the biggest that will fit without modifying. My suspension is stock for now except tubular upper and lower control arms and weld on subframe connectors.

And also what size tire? I was gonna get M/T ET STREETS so I can drive to the dragway on them.

These are for the dragway only, the next day they come back off and my stock rims with BFG's go back on.
Thanks

You CAN run 10in rim in the back. Thats not the problem. You CAN have 2 much rubber in the back. we need to know what kinda hp and tq ur running before I can say what width tire you need. If u were running 29x10's you would bog with almost stock numbers. JD1969 would be a perfect cantidate for answering this question.

I have 4.10 FRPP gears, fenderwell intake, steeda tri-ax shifter, catless xpipe, flowmaster mufflers (put on by previous owner), predator tuner, and brand new BFG KDW tires. I ran best of 14.5 at 97mph with traction issues all day. I need more pratice too no doubt. I have weld on subframe connectors and tubular upper and lower control arms putting on this week.

The 15x10 wheels will fit and do look good and work good but you may have to grind the brake caliper with them depending on what wheel you get. 15x8 Welds bolt right on with no issues but I really prefer the look of a wider wheel. Be sure to get a 5.5" BS with the 8" wheel and a 6.5" BS with the 10" wheel.
