Default Wolfe Minitub Install Pics

Does anyone have install pics of the Wolfe minitubs, I am in the process of doing this and it looks like I am not cutting enough into the car, but don't want to cut to much. Does Dan lay the inner part up against the frame rail? Or does he cut into the frame rail. Any help is appreciated, and I tried the search thing but couldn't find anything.

Holy huge pic batman
Cut into the frame rail. Wolfe racecraft has great technical support. They encourage you to call and ask questons. Great guys.

Make sure you don't cut too much of the driver side fender like I did.

Did they provide a template as to what needed to be cut out?

Not really. I was planning on making my own tubs and had never done this before. I should have taken my time and actually measured what I was doing. It's not too hard just time consuming.

I think Tony narrowed his rearend 3" on each side and used a 5" b.s. wheel without tubbing. If I would have known that I would not have tubbed my car.

Yeah I dont think mini tubs are needed unless you plan to run a huge tire.. If you only want to go with a 28x10.5-29x10.5 then just get the rearend narrowed 3in per side and buy some wheels with a 5in bs..
