Recommended size of drag radial for 17" ss/na tire

so i have a set of SS/NA rims and i was wondering, what size drag radial should i put on them?? I honestly have no idea about DRs so any POSITIVE input would be very helpful. i was thinking maybe 215/50/17???

also would i need to balance these as well??

Bump!!

same size as normal. 26" or 27" tall by 9" all the way up to 11" wide. only thing thats really going to change is the height of the sidewall. and only by .5"(if reagularly mounted on a 16" wheel,) or 1"(if regularly mounted on 15" wheel)
