I am assuming you mean Weld Draglites. For slicks, most people run either a 15" diameter, 8.5" wide, 5.5" backspacing, or a 15" diameter, 10" wide, 6.5" backspacing. Tire width to match. Diameter is USUALLY 26", but some prefer 28" tall tiers, depending on thier setup and gearing.

Before you consider slicks though, you need to make sure the rear is built...especially if you have a 5 speed. One false move on a stock rear end with slicks and you'll be getting towed home. at the very least you want a 31 spline diff with some good moser axles.
