mini-tubs and Moser 9"? I plan to mini-tub my car. Does anyone make a kit for this or do you have to fabricate your own? Would a stock width 9" be good or would it be better to have a shortened one? If so, how much would you shorten? I'd like to be able to run 325/50/15 and 315/35/17s (MT drag radials) What would proper backspacing for the wheels be? Sorry for the newb questions..first rear end swap on this car and want to do it right. The end result is going to be an 8sec capable street car.
EDIT: I'm not going to lower the car.

Thanks! It says they provide clearance for 315/60/15s on a 12 inch wheel. Is anyone running these with 325s? I planned to run a 10 inch wheel..maybe I just answered my own question. 
I plan on running a 325/50.15 on a 15x10'' wheel with a 7.5'' backspace and lower the car around an inch. I also run 315/35/17's right now and the rear is not narrowed. You dont need to mini tubs unless you want the wheels/tires tucked under the fender more, like if you planned on lowering but you said you werent lowering so id save your $$$$
