If your talking about 5280 then:

The tires for 1/12 are CRC Spec - Purple Stripe
People at the track can help you cut them
41.5/42.5 is the largest i would go with at our track
53-57 is all you need w/ 72-73 spur if you do cut them

Your going to have to cut them - especially when the new carpet arrives.
