Yes it's tubbed. Some people don't realize the size of the tires (unless they are behind me) since they are tucked in for a factory look.

Yes Frank I know your tubbed setup looks perfect! Completly tucked in and Factory looking. I know you dont like some of the other options. I personally got lucky with my CCW setup as mine barely sit wider then the fender were as most of the ones I have seen are not anywhere near as tucked as mine are. I personally love the way my CCW big street setup turned out.

Franks tubbed setup looks seriously perfect as you can tell by the pics! By far one of my top 3 cars on this forum!

What does a mini-tub involve work wise? I have 295s on my z06 with motosport 19s, and would like to grab a set of rear tires off one of the vipers at work..
