Default Mini Tubbing F-bodys

I am going to mini tub my car in the near future and already have the offset lower control arms and 2 1/2" coilover springs.

My questions to the people who have mini tubbed their car are:

1. How much have you narrowed your rear end and what size rim and offset are you running, along with tire size.

2. What size wheel tub did you buy? I have a 36" tub will that work?

3. What is the largest size tire you can fit with the lower control arms in the stock location with offset control arm bushings?

4. At what size tire do you have to "stretch/trim" the wheel well opening?

5. What thickness steel did you use to box in the cutout section on the frame rail?

6. Do you have any install photos? If so please list links.

I wouldn't think you need to buy a tub, just make your out of aluminum, cheaper than cutting down a full size tub
