it depends on the back spacing of the wheel. I have 15 x 10 x 5 back spacing & dont need mini tubs. some people would say its a bad idea but, if you do have more backspacing, you could use adapter/spacer plates to set the wheels out further. I have a buddy that has to use those spacers on his AWD car & he runs mid 11's. Hasnt broken one yet but thats not to say it cant happen.

Im not sure how wide of a spacer they make but a 1" should get you pretty close. good luck with it.

Those sholud fit, you are probly gonna have to do some hammering, and ditch the quad shocks, but my tubs are moderatly beat in with a 1/4'' narrowed on each side of the rear, and my 15x10s fit well and im running tailpipes with no major rubbing. My quarter lips have been worked also, but i ran the same size wheel/tire with the standard length rear without the lip done and it was ok too.

That wheel with the 6.3 bs should be pretty close to my setup with 6.5bs and .250 in on the rear so i think you will have a good fit that tucks the wheels in nice as long as the axles are standard length

Yea dont crack the paint... lol, the body shop did mine by cutting every 2 inches, then hammering them back, and blending into the stock tubs, and this was done all the way around the quarter. I can try and get pics up, it was alot of work and the final product cam out awesome

Click to expand...

I paid for the car to be done all at once so i dont know, ive heard from 150 to 500 to do it though. They make a fender roller but i think that will deform the shape of the 1/4 panel and there is a good chance of cracking the paint
