Yeah, I'm gonna drag my car too a little bit this year.

I really like the 5-lugs, so since I can't run anything smaller with this setup what is the stickiest ones I can get?

Also, what is the widest 15" wheel/ slick combo so I can get the maximum contact patch? What offset?

you'd do better with 15s than none at all.
i dont think thats enough for 13s though.
Stock axles are fine too.
