I'm actually working on a mini tub kit. Hoping to having all the patterns complete in the next few weeks. I'm actually done building the Passenger side, just need to complete the Drivers side. It will be large enough to fit 315/60/15 drag radial on a 12" wheel, which is the same size as a 29.5/10.5/15 W tire on a 12" wheel. Basically will give 16" from outside of fender lip to inside of tub wall.
I should have pictures of the passenger side on our website in the next week.
To take full advantage the rearend will need to be narrowed as well as other possible modifications to some of the suspension mounts (that will depend on your wheel and tire combination).

why is it i get crap when thinking about mini tubing, and everyone else thinks youre the man for doing it. i hate message boards for this reason haha.
car looks BAD *** with the tires all tucked away. exactly what i wanted to accomplish.
what size are the tubs themselves?

Mine are a little longer, same width, really just a cut to fit deal, No "kit" available as of yet...that I know of anyway...although I did make my final templates out of aluminum. Very time consuming to do it right,
Step 1 Cut
Step 2 Fit
Step 3 repeat steps 1 and 2 many many times.

apparently so man
i did a coil over conversion in the rear so that i can lower the back of the car and use mini tubs to get the look that these 2 cars have. thats the main reason, not because i think i need a 90"x105" tire. that and my rearend is shortened. man, lots of haters on this forum hahaha.
any updates? did you put the tubs in yet?

Our Mini Tub Kit is not available right now. Hoping to finish up the patterns in the next week or two. I have the passenger side complete, just need to finish the drivers side, when i get some extra time.
