Default Wheel Tuck

Will a 1" tuck (relative to stock wheel location) allow for a full body slam (w/ a minitub).

how low to the ground do you want the rocker panel? the outer wheel well up top rounds in not to far from the top of the wheel opening itself. also to get that tire to tuck inside, your going to need to do some work on the inside of the wheel well.

building a car right now with a 28 10.5 and it required a completely new tub, not just a mini tub to get the height i needed above the tire. rocker is 4" off the ground on this car.
