I have mini-tub my WS-6
I made my own tubes and it came out real nice, from the inside you can not even tell. All the interior panel and rear seats fit like stock, you can't do that with a coupe.

I can fit a 315/60/15 radail or 29.5 x 10.5W or for the street I am thinking on running the new MT 345x35x18. You can fit any tire up to 15" sec width and 30" dia.

Interested in more pics aswell. Also info on your cage! I'm going to go that route instead of just a 6 point.

Here is some of my cage. Depending how my job turns out I may have them do these on mine. If so I will have them take a bunch of pics so I can post them up.

Zombifying the thread

I was thinking of picking up the WELD ProStar in 15x15, for the rear, just for the fun of it and to have something different. Do you guys think the mini tub and a 3" cut, on the rear, will work or would I need to go full tub and a 3+ cut?

I'm looking for the ULTRA deep disk look...
