I've got 315's in the rear with NO hammering. All that was needed was a little grinding on my bump stops and that was it. Took about 20 mins to get done and the 11" rims with the 315's mounted. I have NO rubbing issues to speak of.

That gives you a good reason to take your time on teh mini tub then. If you do that, you should be OK. Just need a MIG, sawzall or a body saw, 4" grinder with an assortment of wheels, and your "time" and you can get it done.
