I think 17". I just use steel spare wheels but need an aluminum wheel adapter to clear the brakes. There are other, more expensive options that don't require a spacer. I'll torque 10 more lug nuts to save 1000 bucks.
Just for the strip or daily driving?
Around town I use 18x5 racestars and the corresponding Mickey Thompson sportsman sr fronts. They handle beautifully on the street. The tires are not very light though at 25lbs a piece. They have actual tread so don’t drive through the water box at the strip.
At the strip, 17x4.5 racestars wrapped in m and h skinnies. Those tires are much lighter so you will shed more but the do not handle as well daily driving. Straight tread so you can drive through the water box.

the only issue with racestars is the stupid washer setup. And the ****ty lugnuts that warp. if you use racestars buy extra lugnuts from them , and go to home depot and buy standard washers the same size as the originals. Cuz thats what they sent me for washer spares.
Yea looking for something for the strip I was wondering if the 17s would clear the caliper in the front saves me some money by not having to buy the 18x5
I've been looking at both the Jms Avenger and Race Star Drag Stars for daily driving because I like the look and ride of 17 inch wheels. My concern with the JMS is they only offer a 4.5 inch front wheel which I was afraid was too narrow for street use. If the 18x5 Race Stars do fine on the street would the 17x4.5 Avengers? If so those are what I want
The lugs and washers with racestars are why I prefer the JMS avengers. Advantage of racestars is the 17x7 for front. If the 17x4.5 is ok for street use I'll go with them
