After you cut for the tub the spring is the next thing in the way to fit a big tire.

Madman what do you charge to do a full tube on these cars. Full tub meaning not backhalf but a tub that goes all the way up and takes out the inner fender well so you can sit the car down over the tire.

they will have to be trimmed, but it looks pretty good all in all.
