Yea ive been looking for some wheels and tires for drag racing but have no idea what offset will work. ID like some 15x10 if they will fit but 15x8 would be fine just need to know offsets and/or backspacing.

Im thinking 15x8 because there is alot more tire choices and the rims should be lighter depending on the ones i get.

I use 11.5 x 26 x 17 MT ET Streets on a 17X8 Wheel. I seem to hook too much LOL So far I have broke 2 sets of Stock axles and 3 U-Joints.

But have went the best of 1.6 60' with No launch control.

Hybridynamics uses the 300zx TT wheels with a 26x10.5x16 and gets 1.49 60' times

I have been running 235x60x15(26x8.5) MT ET street radials at 18-22(psi) depending on track conditions on 15x6.5 stock 95 4lug wheels. My best 60' is 1.72. I have a friend who runs rota slipstreams w/24.5" wrinkle walls on a SRT-4 and they are 28 lbs. total compared to my 42lb. drag radials. I am going to a 15x7 rota slipstream and 26x8.5 MT wrinkle wall with a 4.36 R&P in place of a J30(3.91) R&P. I should lose .3 and drop below 11.5 in the 1/4. If you are running stock 4.08 R&P and don't have over 400whp you should run the M&H racemaster 24.5x8.5x15 wrinkle wall to shorten 2nd gear and keep your RPM's up at the traps. IMO Rota slipstreams are $150 ea. and the tires are $160. You will lose at least 15lbs in weight and hook like hell if you have less than 500whp!!!
