The largest I found was a 335/35R17, which is only 26" tall and probably too wide for the stock wheels. I think if you want drag slicks you are going to need new wheels.

If you are talking about the track, then I assume you will need 4 to run in 4wd. Even with slicks you will need additional rear end mods to run in 2wd and hold the power you should have. Most, if not all, slicks large enough will require wider wheels to be effective.
