No tub...
So,how many people here are runnin the fatties without the tubs or fenders, and what wheels did you use to achieve that? I'm just not wanting to spend the cash on custom ofset wheels for the flares, and I have some fairly expensive subwoofer boxes (fiberglass) that I won't be able to use if I do a mini tub. Rock and a hard place...
My thoughts weere to move my rears o the front with 295's, and buy a 19x12 set for the rear with 335's. With that combo, I can also go to C6 Z06 brakes, which may come in handy when the h/c is done.

I've been thinking about brake upgrade and after a discussion this weekend of its really just about the bling. I like my z06 brakes just fine... I wont be spending any more money on brakes.
Oh, and i'm pretty sure they dont make a 335 in a 19" tire.

As to the brakes, I'm sure that I can make my factory size perform quite well given the products available, but love the look of the larger calipers and rotors. Bling as you say, but me likey. They will be lower on the list than my heads and cam etc, but once that is done, I gotta spend my money on sumthin right?
Thanks m'man...

Cool. I was hoping to squeak through without the tub. Maybe I run a 325 if the 335 isn't available... Or whtever is close and look good.
