Default drag tire slick

I was wonder about my truck stock rims is 17" wonder if I could have tire slick on stock rims 17" If so what size drag slick?
Also what about other light weight wheels for drag with slick tires?

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 have also thought about gettin some stock nissan frontier 15" rims and putting some 26" slicks on there..

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