How can I put 18x12's in he back

Just as the question ask. What are my options? Anyone know?

12's!!! dude u wont be able to go over a bump cause the tire will mess up ur quarter panel, 11's are like that but not as bad as 12's, what do u currently have

"Mini tub" it, ask local shops for quotes I'd like to know to for future reference. ;)

Yea, I was thinking of the mini tub. Impala owners do it in there SS all the time. I'm going to check out some body shops and see what they could do.

I have the stockers on

anyone else?

I have been entertaining going to 12.5's but flaring the fenders. A mini tub would be a HUGE job.

Its easier on an impala because they have a frame, not unibody.

a lot of fender flaring would be necessary. its possible, just tedious so as to make it look good.

Yeah just mini tub it. Here is some pics of a local guy that mini tubbed his T/A:

I love how it looks....my 9.5 inch rims are way too skinny, I plan to do this in the future.

that...is...hot.

I was against mini-tubbing until I saw that Bird. Dang that thing is mean looking!!! I woulda gone with rolling the fenders and cutting some plastic away, but scrap that, tub it!!!!

I'm just mad cause mini-tubing wont help me mount my dubz lol. 20x9 with a crazy offset.

this might be of some interest for you. This guy put 17x11 315s on his 97 camaro. http://u2.netgate.net/~jshapiro/z28/315s/index.html

17x11 look and handle better then my 17x9 but imagine 17x13 or 18x12 or even 13 with 335's in the back:bow:

The bad thing this isn't a easy job. You'd probably need a shortend rear end, alot of cutting and custom rims.

bigdreamZ, that bird looks great the way he did it. He even put Wilwood breaks on it.

I spoke to a very good custom guy about flaring the fenders on the back for the big rims. He said that he could do it but because I have a black car it would take HUGE time to get the flares perfect. Serious time and money as a result.

I'm not going to do it at this time.

I have 335's in the back with no shortened rearend or mini tub, mounted on a 17x11 wheel.

Modifications needed: BFH, BFG, and a wooden baseball bat to roll the fender lip with. Well worth the 1-2 hours i put into it, because i seriously get a woody everytime i look at my car.
