29's and bigger in here!
29's and bigger in here! Ok guys I've wondered this and havent truly found out yet. I was wondering if running a 29 or bigger tire is a minitub needed? This is assuming running on a stock rearend with stock backspacing (7.5) or maybe a 2 inch narrowed rearend with 5.5 inch backspacing. Anyone done it with the stock tubs? Anyone have pics of it? Thanx AGAIN!

Awesome to know what bs and all that are u running? Just have to trim the fenders a bit? Did you have to hit the inside at all?
i guess the width is a big thing to look at. are you running 29.5" W tires like the biggest tire allowed for the LS1tech EFI Nationals? Or are you just wanting to run a regular 29x9" slick.

6secNaLs1 asked: why do you need such a big tire?
If you can hook your car on short tires, you don't need them. I couldn't.
Good luck, Ed

Verdad Gallardo Sean what are you running now? And what were you running with this time:
Cam only/150 shot(stock long block) 9.643@138.39 (1.364) DA +1178
needing a larger tire since i'm tossing the 4.30's back in my car.

I run a 29.5x10.5x15 but I am minitubbed because I wanted the tire to tuck in more, so I could lower the body to where I wanted it.
Rear Narrowed 3" per side, Weld Alumastars 15x10 w/ 5" BS, MT 29.5x10.5x15

Ya I plan to run around the 29.5x10.5's so as long as I should be fine with them then I guess I'll get to ordering. and big tires equals big gears and big RPM's. Plus the traction should be nice with big HP and TQ numbers

I run a 29.5x10.5x15 but it is a 12inch rim which in my opinion is the only way to go if your going really fast. The 12inch wheel gives you better traction and bigger foot print the whole way down the track. I have a billingsley fab 9" narrowed 3" on each side, and i run a 15x12x6" bs and it tucks great in the wheel well.

Any wheel well "adjustments" for that? can you maybe send me some pictures of that?
We definitely need some pics of a 12" rim on a 4th gen. don't think i've seen any but I know the Wolfe minitub kits were designed for that. atleast that's what i remember reading about.

man, i'd figure with the 30" tire and no minitub that you'd be having a wicked rake to the car, but it looks pretty damn good. any close up shots of the wheelwell mods at the front and back to make the tire fit?
