Rim/Tire Question.....You Stage Guys Will Be Best At Answering

As I further prep my car for the Stage 2 motor going in later this year, I am considering a new set of rear rims. Currently I am using Weld Rodlites 15x8 w/3 1/2'' BS on the rear and am thinking of switching to the same rim in 15x10. I am about to roll the fender lip. My 2 questions for people with experience with these are : 1- How well will they fit under my un-notched car (wolfracecraft sway bar/airbags currently removed) with a 4 1/2" back space and then play around with spacers? 2- Has anyone ever used a 15X10 rim on the street with BFG 275/60/15 DRs on? I'm curious to see if a 10" rim is just too wide for that tire. Thanks

I had a similar problem started with the 15x8 3.5 bs with a 28" slick but wanted more.So I had the car's frame rails "notched" and now I have 15x10" 4 7/8 bs centerline autodrags with a phoenix 28.5x10.5's the fit is great and the lip hasnt been touched.I'll be at LV dragway if this snow ever melts.
