Nitto drag radials on front wheels (obviously mounted on the rear)is about as good as it gets for street radials. Your open road handling will suffer.

I've used BF Goodrich Drag Radials. The largest ones they make for the 17 inch wheel is 315's. They will fit on the stock wheel though although it looks a little funny. You definitely will get better straight line traction for drag racing but they are miserable (especially mounted on the stock wheel) for regular driving. They will definitely help your ET's though by improving your 60 foot time a lot.
