I thought drag wheels were usually 15 inch with some thick slicks. Then the smallest wheels possible in the rear wit some skinny tires. For non drag Id put the same 15s with slicks in the rear. But for other racing you would want a stiff sidewall.

unless you want your speedo to be off, you need to find a 17 inch "stock" equivalent.
the closest one is
205/40/17
