Tubbing

Do you know what the maximum width of rear tire you could get from mini tubbing? I may be wrong in my thinking, but if you are going to cut the wheel wells and shorten the housing and axles then I might as well go with a full tub. Do you know the pros and cons of a mini tub versus full tub?

I tubbed my car 20 or so years ago and that was the thing to do then, but with today's technology, you can get a set of 12" tires to hook up great with the right suspension components and tires without limiting the driveability like you will with a full out tubbed car, and you can keep your original frame rails and floor pans. It's a lot of work to do a full tub job, if you want to do it right. If your building a street car, mini tub is the way to go.
