need help going down to 17" welds.

Ok guys im going down on rim size for traction purposes my mods are:
3:73 gear going with 1.4 drop in front springs, no cats nor res, k&n, x pipe, tuned throttle body spacer..im going to be adding a 3200 tripple disc street fighter stall. ( soon after that I will install long tube headers)

what tire should I go with the hoosier slick or some radials.

This is my dd as well guys but sometimes I like to have fun on the weekends on the streets so the tires i get for the welds need to be safe enough for a road race (30 roll, dig) on a good road. Legal or illegal idc in texas


But these tires are meant mostly for track just maybe once every other month of street use for 1 night
Plz help

What type of converter is that? Hoosier will hook the best but I wouldn't drive them on the street too dangerous IMO, I run M/Ts 295/45/17s and do well for rows and digg street runs in Mexico.

I just bought the 3200 Street Fighter TCI stall.. I really dont know. how it's going to hook up with my 20 inch drag radials I have nittos nt555r on it. my friends 12 Camaro has 500 rear wheel horsepower and he cuts 1.7 with this stall with stock gear but he chirps in 2nd...

so I bought it off him. Since my car already has 3:73 gears I hook on ave 1.9 to 2.1 wit 20" stock rim and chirps into 2 n 3rd When I add this still stall I want to be safe so I dont spin. What should I go with the 17x10 weld.

btw im putting lowering springs in the front 1.4 and keeping stock ride height springs in back

My NTO5rs hook like glue, but I don't have aggressive gearing. They handle very nice and hook on the street very good also.

they have told me about those but I have aggressive gearing that's the only reason why I am thinking slick
