As long as the slicks aren't too wide - and you don't lower the air pressure
too much (so much that the rim contacts the track - probably not going to
happen unless you run them flat :-)) you'll be fine. Don't worry about the
slick moving on the wheel - that shouldn't happen.

 If you drive them around on the streets (which is illegal, but some
"outlaws" ;) do it) make sure you keep them full of air, they tend to leak
after a few weeks..
