SLAMMED And 19's?

Few quick questions for those that are lowered and running atleast 19s or bigger. Im looking to run a 19x12 in the back and 18's up front, with me being lowered is it going to require a tub? And will I have a problem in going to 18s up front?

I am going to 19 in with 345 in the rear - I need the tub. I think you can run 19s up front too without any modifications...

Not slammed but the front bolts are removed and longer bolts are in back. No problems here for two years. Just the normal lowered car scraping.

Ive got longer bolts in the rear, and the front bolt has been removed, to give you an idea how lot I sit. The first thing I want are the wheels, if I can do it without a tub...awesome, if not I'll get a tub before

Im running 19x11 fronts w/ 305s and 19x13 rear w/ 355. The car lowered some with the T1 suspension kit, I have not slammed it all the way cause the splitter and the rocker kit are already so low.

I didnt tub since I went with a wide body kit. The fronts do rub on the DRM brake ducts under extreme turns. It would have been nice if the front rim were offset with a deeper dish on the outer edge.

Cheers,
