29's and bigger in here!
Ok guys I've wondered this and havent truly found out yet. I was wondering if running a 29 or bigger tire is a minitub needed? This is assuming running on a stock rearend with stock backspacing (7.5) or maybe a 2 inch narrowed rearend with 5.5 inch backspacing. Anyone done it with the stock tubs? Anyone have pics of it? Thanx AGAIN!

6secNaLs1 asked: why do you need such a big tire?
If you can hook your car on short tires, you don't need them. I couldn't.
Good luck, Ed

I run a 29.5x10.5x15 but I am minitubbed because I wanted the tire to tuck in more, so I could lower the body to where I wanted it.

Ya I plan to run around the 29.5x10.5's so as long as I should be fine with them then I guess I'll get to ordering. and big tires equals big gears and big RPM's. Plus the traction should be nice with big HP and TQ numbers

I run a 29.5x10.5x15 but it is a 12inch rim which in my opinion is the only way to go if your going really fast. The 12inch wheel gives you better traction and bigger foot print the whole way down the track. I have a billingsley fab 9" narrowed 3" on each side, and i run a 15x12x6" bs and it tucks great in the wheel well.

Any wheel well "adjustments" for that? can you maybe send me some pictures of that?
