18x12s an mini-tubs posted this in the wheel section also, but maybe a better response here?
Other than HRE, Fikse, and Simmons, what are the options here, for rims this size? Would really like to fit some 335s or 345 on the back of my buddy's C5, and realize it would need mini-tubs too. Where can I get those also?
He really like the TTIIs but they told him they won't do 12" rim, and I assume that is waht you need at the minimum for a 345, right?
BTW, if he gets these, he'll have some take off Z06 Supercar tires, and MAllet 17/18 rims for sale, separately!
Thanks guys.

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs For a 345, i'd say the "minimum" would be an 11.5" rim. And CCW, BBS, Oz Racing, COH (Corvettes Of Houston) all have wheel options that should fit for 335/345 series tires.
And you can get mini-tubs from Lingenfelter, and some other places, but i know for a fact LPE has mini-tubs for the C4 and C5.

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs Your better off posting this on the corvette forum under the rims and tire section. Ive seen alot of guys with that size tire combination with the mini tubs.

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs any links for the above metioned rims.
All the mini-tubs I have seen, from 4 vendors now, are the exact same price, $699.99 for the kit and $600 for the install kit, so I can only assume them to the exact same kit. I just found a link on the Corvette Forum of a guy that did his own, but didn't use the shock travel limiters. Effects of not using them?

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs This is bling bling? They are one of the most straight forward, race oriented wheels you can buy.
Unless you are talking about the new 1 piece style. Those only come in 19" anyway so I dont see why they would be associated with a thread titled 18x12

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs Ive seen those split 5 spoke CCW wheels before, and they look damn good. But, if i had the money (and a car to put 'em on lol) i'd probably get the Fikse 5Ss...those to me are just awesome lookin rims
LGM carries them.

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs Louis,
I told my buddy to check you guys out. Actually, you were the first people that popped into my head when he asked, but you don't have any of them on the website.

Re: 18x12s an mini-tubs Do the mini-tubs yourself. Cost is about $50 in materials and about 15-18 hrs of labor (less if you're familar with body work). Here's a "How-To" that i put together recently:
