Default What size slicks for c5 wagon wheels?

I need to order some slicks asap from the races next friday.

Should I use the front 17 inch wheels or rear 18 inch wheels?

Also need to know what size to order, car is lowered about 1.5 inches.

The cheaper the better
Thanks!

If looking for actual slicks (and not drag radials) then you have no choice but to use the 17s. There is only one slick available in a diameter greater than 16 and it is the Mickey Thompson ET Street (DOT legal slick) in size 26.0-11.5-17.
If wanting drag radials you can use either the 17s or the 18s.

Mickey Thompson 26.0-10.5-16 would likely be best on those. Another option is the Hoosier Quick Time Pro 26-9.50-16LT.
