Re: Mini tubs? (T-MAN)
Didn't you mean a 345/30/19 ? If so, I am also interested. I'd also like to know about max wheel size as I'm looking into 13" x 19" all inside the wheelwells. I think NoMercy has this setup. Any others? Benelliwang-Your Dr. friend has 345's doesn't he? Hopefully someone will step in soon as I have to order in the near future.

I'd also like to know the offset and back spacing for 18x12s. :yesnod: I have the Forgelines off of my C4 that I could widen the rears to get 18x12. :D

Re: Mini tubs? (93Polo)
93Polo- Iwas told that 18x12 with stock z06 offset results in 9.5" backspacing. On a Z06 vendors suggest reducing to 9 3/8' backspacing which changes offset by 1/8".Hope this helps. :cheers:

That does not make sense :confused: The whole point of tubing a car is to increase the back spacing.

Re: Mini tubs? (93Polo)
I think NoMercy is currently running a 345/30/19 on a 12.5" rim. Anyone volunteer to contact him for confirmation and clearance issues?

Re: Mini tubs? (xtream1)
I helped mini tub my car last weekend. The whole interior was removed to protect it from the mess. Used a mini grinding wheel to cut in the new tubs. What a dusty mess. The mechanic who did most of the work said he wouldn't do it again for less than $2000 installed. :eek:

Re: Mini tubs? (boblackhardtop)
I've been considering this as well. I saw a few of them up at LPE, but i've forgotten how great they look. Can someone provide some photos of their finished work? I need inspiration. :cool:
