Default Mini Tubs???
Hey yall, ive got a question. Ive been considering mini tubs for the car but i dont know if i really need them. Ive got a 94 Z28 with a Moser 12 bolt, i plan on running 19X11/12 out back and running maybe at the most a 335 inch tire, 315 at the least. I know ill need to bend the lip of the fender and ive been considering flaring them but do you think i will need mini tubs?

You wont need minitubs. Some flaring and a hammer to the inside tub will be necessary though

315's can be run w/o mini-tubs so the use of a BFH should solve any potential problems.

335, but what height? in my opinion if you have the ability to do it..mini tubbing is just so much cleaner and proffesional than smashing the inside of your fenders in.

Alright i want to run 19x11 CCW rims in the back tire im not sure what size obviously a low profile street tire. I mounted my rims in the front today (without tires) and if i turn it the rim hits the front of the wheel well. So i already have issues there but i just wanna make sure i dont need mini tubs and then have to wait longer if i do.

BTW my 12 bolt moser IS NOT SHORTENED.
