More updates. Rearend is back under the car after being narrowed up, and fitted with Strange 40 spline axles.
Champion double beadlock rears, and matching fronts with Mickey Thompson 315-60-15 Drag Radials in the rear.

That is about as high as the tire will fit into the wheel well. The mini tub gains clearance on the back of the wheel well, but where the stock wheel well that is left in there meets to the quarter panel, it slopes down a bit and limits tire tuck. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't screw around with mini tubs, and do full carbon fiber tubs butted up to the quarter panel.

you can't even get nearly that type of a tuck with an OEM tub...a minitub makes for a lot of extra room...yes, it still has limitations...but its alot more straight forward to install compared to a full tub.
