drag setup

So I know the back spacing I need and then obviously the bolt pattern, but can't decide whether to run 15x8 or 16x8 for wheel size for drag radials. Any advice or input on this ppl?

Thanks

Both are gonna look kinda dumb, so you should go with the 15s. You'll have a stouter final drive ratio and can get tires with a bigger sidewall.

Haha no, that was exactly what I meant. Wasn't trying to be mean. Just that it's neither one will add to the looks so might as well get the best accel.
