Default Wheel Size ?

Im running them on 15 inch rota slipstreams either 15x7 or 15x8. The tires will be MH 8.5/23.0-15. I can fit 15x8 wheels however is it worth the added weight ? I believe they are around 2-3 lbs heavier per wheel. But supposedly the tire will react better with the 8 inch wheel. Im not sure which one would benefit me more. The wheel/tire combo will only be ran at the track in straight lines. Im not running tubes in the tires either.
