Is posi really that big of a deal if I'm pushing less than 350 horse??

I have a chance to get some 15x7, 15x8, or 15x10 wheels for the rear..

Should I go with the wide tires or the rear end.. I understand gearing and posi is a big deal.. but I'm not pushing 500+horses.. I am new to the car world and am just trying to understand all this.. please bear with me..

also I cant find a monte carlo ss rear anywhere!! I am in brookings, sd and theirs not much around here.. those cars are very rare.. I have all tools imaginable to use on any project for school..so if I could get a posi unit and 3.73 gearing and do the work myself is it worth it then? thanks for the help its super appreciated..

Also what size rims should I go with.. out of those choices..
