I don't have slicks, but I'm running nitto drag radials on my stock 17"s, its a 245/45 17.

ETA: I think the closest tire you can get to a slick is the Mickey thompson et street. As far as wheels, I think there was a thread here recently; I think they were Hogan?. I know they're not cheap. If you can use a 16" wheel or even 15", there are a lot more tire choices.

i think the bolt pattern is the same.. and they should clear my drum brakes..
