Default Track Tire for OEM wheels?

I'm thinking of slapping a set of drag tires on my OEM wheels because I've got other wheels for my street purposes. What is a decently priced overall good drag tire to better my 60' times while still being DOT legal and drivable 40 miles to the track? What is the widest I can go on these rims without being unsafe? Thanks in advance!

id say for dragging, you could put a 235/45/17 with no problem, it will greatly reduce your cornering ablilities due to the sidewall angles on such a narrow rim, but for drag racing i thing it would be great for traction!

negative on that ghostrider. my boost stays where it's at. I stand by that for sure. If I had another daily driver...then maybe but I gotta pay the bills with this thing too! One of these days though...one of these days...
