mini tub help
hey guys :seeya
Ive done every search I can think of... I think the search function hates me...
can someone help me find some info on mini tubbing?? Is there a kit that I can purchase or do I just beat the inner fender back with a lead hammer?
btw, this is for my fathers 02 coupe
If I can create some room, do the custom wheel guys make wheels that are wider that will still fit flush with the fender?? ... and what is the widest 19' tire available - Im assuming I can get a 19x12 or 19x13 wheel... CCW?? we're not looking to race but just for looks...
any help, links, suggestions are greatly appreciated
THANKS
Vin
...oh, side question - what years were the FRCs produced?

The FRC's were only built in 99 and 2000 after that they became Z06's.
You can beat all day long with a heavy hammer and all you will do is break your car, this car is made from Composite material along with plastic and fiberglass for various pieces so hammering will not make them stretch.
You can buy a kit from Lingenfelter http://www.lingenfelter.com/ for tubbing but you don't really need the kit, here are a couple of links for ya.
