mini tubbed 4th gens.

I haven't gotten around to doing anything with them yet. I plan on doing something totally custom with the panels pretty soon. As you can see though, they don't look too bad as they are right now considering they haven't been trimmed or anything.

so if i want to be able to Tuck a 275/60-15 drag slick what would be required.
I know wolfe tubs, i also run offset LCA with original mounting location.
and AFCO coil overs.
Would the rear end need narrowed or just rims with different offset, would frame need notching, ect

Obviously you can keep the rear panels, but looks like the seat belts are missing. No chance on keeping the seat belts?
I'm currently running 325/30/19 on 19x12 with no mini tubs but tires still scrub pretty good sometimes and its going to get worse this year with the additional power so i have been looking into minitubs more

What all did you have to do to get it to fit?

To get the 15x12 I put in which have a 4.5 inch backspace we took 6.5 inches off both sides of the rear, moved the control arms inwards on the chassis and rear, put a wishbone in as the panhard was not able to stay, we ended up cutting 1/2 way into the spring perches so the coil overs went inside the frame rails and are mounted to a cross bar that's attached to the rear portion of the cage. 18192 Hoosier 29.5 tire on them.

The 12" wheels are OEM c6 Z wheels.
The offset is +59.
It took a bit of work. You absolutely have to have tubular LCAs, adjustable pan hard bar and I strongly recommend on car cause every MM adjustment is needed, and I would say you can not "slam" the car. Mine is lowered but conservatively. Then you have to take a hammer to the front of the fender well and roll the lip of the quarter panel as flat as possible. You should also cut the bump stop area completely off. I didn't cut enough and that is where I am scrubbing a little bit. I also used a 5mm spacer just to get a little better inner clearance

Is 15x12 considered a big tire car?
Can we get some pics of the setup? Especially how you mounted the shocks please?
Killer setup

Nice build with a TON of work. Is it possible to shorten the panhard and just mount it towards the center? Or is that pretty much useless?
