Probably the first to ask... I wanted to fit an 18X13 or 19X13 wheel on my car as well as a 30 inch slick. I can't find a tub kit, nor do I know where a chassis shop is that could fit it. I figure I could just get longer bolts for the wheels, but the width is a bit much. All help is appreciated.
I've seen 18x12's with 345/30's I think fit on one, but they stuck out of the fender a little. Must have had the perfect offset to fit them, b/c I didn't think it was possible.

I see you live in Houston. Madman could probably mini tub it without a problem. There are several chassis shops in houston that can do that. I don't know how much , or how long it would take, but they probably could do that without a problem.

I wouldn't think tubbing was possible on these cars. With 315's, the tire practically rubs the LCA's. Moving them inboard would be very difficult, but making a bent LCA for clearance might be do-able.
It seems that flaring the fender and repainting it would work better as well as make the car look wider and lower. You could get a fatter lipped rim and it might be cheaper as well.
