Nitto 555R2's or Toyo R888's will do pretty good and allow you to maintain handling.
Something you lose with DR's.

I had R888's and liked them a lot... I put nt05r's on my new wheels and will try those out as soon as I get my car back on the road

I spin the NTO5's with 400whp. NTO5r's would probably be good though. MT ET streets would definitely hook, but be terrible in the corners and rain.
