Default 7th Gen. Drag Slicks

I would like to purchase drag slicks for The Beast but I don't know what will fit. Has anyone here put slicks on their car? I will be swapping them out at the track so longevity is not an issue. Traction is the issue.

Monte Carlo LTZ came with 17s, I would assume the brakes are the same.

i don't know a bunch on the Ls4, but are you sure you want want to put slick on? i would do a research on it first bcuz you just cant put slick on any car without some upgrade in the trans. the stock input shaft won't hold it will shatter. i do a drag radial . go 16" wheels all the way around. as far as i know the grand prix wheels are pretty light they like 22 lbs a piece.

Yeah, I'm not very concerned about breaking at this time. I Just want to be able to hook up.
