If anyone is curious as to how they fit, here are some pics.
As far as traction goes, you can't get a better street tire for traction.

Have to get your fenders rolled? And what size are those tires?

I had already rolled them for my 275-40-18 street tires.
The size is 275/40-17.
I'm not sure if they would have cleared without rolling, sorry.

I will take some vids this week. I have some track vids from last November, but I had it detuned since I didn't have enough fuel. I'm running eleven degrees more timing now with the proper fuel volume. Eleven degrees timing is a huge horsepower difference.
It's definitely a ton of fun to drive on the street. I'm having a blast with this thing!

I want to know what sort of 60' times you are able to click off with those.

I recorded a 1.65 60' time on my way to an 11.78. This was only my second run and the first one was of idle. Since the car hooked, I decided to come out under more boost for the next run. I'm not sure what the boost was since I was concentrating on the tree but I started brake torquing and building boost earlier this time, the car creeped forward as the boost built up and overpowered the brakes and caused a redlight start. With that said, the car launched extremally hard and hooked 100%. The 60' time was definitely in the 1.5s and the E.t. was definitely low elevens but since I tripped the red light early as the car creeped forward it only recorded a 1.7 60' and 12.0 e.t. If you watch the 2 videos back to back you can clearly see that the redlight launch was way better.
My opinion is that these tires are good for 1.5 (maybe 1.4) sixty foot times.

They can't. I had to buy a complete interior from a wrecked GTO and swap it over. I posted a thread in the Appearance section about it. One other guy swapped interiors with hsi friends so there is 2 of us that have a YJ with red interior. Half the guys don't like it but i do!
