Default How much room can I make with a BFH

My tires are 13.9 inchs wide in the back planning to roll the fenders and I have to remove the bumpstops also. But how far can I really hammer it in? Or would it be Easier just getting minitubs?

Depends on how big of a hammer you're using

Easier, no....right, yes.

Just rolled and hammered mine to fit 315s. Took a measurement from inside of fender to outside and measured 13.5. You'd have to beat the living hell out of it to make it fit.....

i hammered mine to fit kumho 335's on 17x11's from OE.....it wouldn't have worked if i had the 38mm offset wheels, luckily mine were 50mm (setting them in a little deeper).....didn't even roll my fenders, but it would've helped

Ya guy wants to charge me like 2k to minitub it. He hasn't done one I don't think for a fbody. Think the Wolfe racecraft has instructions with it. Just want to keep my rear seatbelt and not cut the plastic if I dont have to.

I wanted to mini tub, but everyone told me that the rear seat would have to be removed. I would kill to have a mini tub and still have a back seat

I mini tubbed my trans am. Rear seat and stock rear interior pieces are in place. But the seat belts will not work in stock locations. You'll have to turn the male part of the seat belt into a lap belt like I did. I have 18x12 CCW's and 335's, with room for M/T 345's

I trimmed mine down some. Other wise, the rear panels would need to be trimmed out to match the wheel tubs and the rear seats would also have issues fitting
