Default New slicks, wow!!!

I bought a new pair of slicks for the Crossfire today. I'm a little worried they might not fit inside the wheel wells as they are 4 foot wide. Any idea's? Wheel suggestions?

It is hard to see how big these tires are in the pictures. I needed something for scale but I'm not sure they wanted me taking pictures at all. The tires I delivered were 8.5 foot tall and a couple foot wide. The tires in the picture are 4 foot wide and approximately 12 foot tall.

12.45 in a N/A???? Are you kidding?

What are you running?

Sounds likes bullshit to me..

Edit: Reading through this post you said "stock n/a", then looking at your other posts you don't even have a CAI and are not modified..

SO how the hell are you running 12.45 in a N/A and eating up srt's? PLEASE explain.
