Mini Tubs create alot more tire clearance!! They also create alot more work to follow up with that clearance. I want the option to stick with leaf springs on this car, no major surgery, and run the widest possible tire without doing major surgery! using my @autometaldirect parts makes the whole thing easier, but there's still some trimming to do. I was able to safely run a 315/30/18 rear tire on ZedSled, and it looked FAT!!!! I'll show you some tricks to getting as much tire under the rear as possible, without tubbing, without reinventing the rear seat, and without relocating seat belt anchors.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate all the love, subscriptions, likes, and comments!!
