What's the most you can narrow a rearend without going to minitubs? I've done a lot of bodywork but don't feel comfortable doing that to my car.

narrowing the rear end has nothing to do with needing a mini tub. You get the custom offset rims to fit your narrowed rear end, hence the huge lip on the rear rims on cars with a narrowed rear end.

you can only go so far before you start getting into the LCA brackets, which i think is like 3.5" narrowed per side.

Well looks like 3" off each side for me. I don't mind using the BFH or cutoff wheel and some offset LCA's.
