Depends on your brakes and there are legal issues also but since youre talking about drags etc i dont think they'll come into it. I think the smallest you can go is a 15" rim. I cant fit anything less than 17s to my fronts! :

On the back I'd go 15's. easy enough to get and very easy to get rubber to put on there.
