Default Best option to run the 1/4?

Hey guys, currently I just finished doing some mods to my car, and dont exactly have a lot of money to go and buy some wheels just to go occasionally to the track, so the wheels I currently have are these:

275/40/20 or the sock ones which are 215/65/16

Which of these are better to put on the rear for when I go to the track?

I was planning on leaving the 20's in the front, but the back might be different, since its when the magic happens haha

Ill try to look for some cheap used tires that can work for a while, but in the mean time, what should I do?

The 20's are going to add a lot of weight at the drag strip.
