2nd Gen Mini Tubbing?

Anyone have pics of a mini tubbed 2nd gen? Interior too.


And, how much room is there to gain by mini tubbing?



Oh yeah, and the sig is wrong...that was a 12.7 @ 109 on 2.56 gears and street tires!

Can't you fit something ridiculous like 315s in a 2nd gen camaro without mods? I was reading a Camaros mag and they were building a road race 2nd gen running 315 A032R Yokohama rubber in the rear, and didn't mention any modifications that were done to facilitate the rubber, sounded like they bolted right up...

you could fit 17x11 with 315 without any mods.

I know with Torq thrust two, 17x9.5 you'll need about 5.5 bs for the front and 17x11 you'll need 5.7 bs for the back with 315

I'm not sure about the ZR1's. Maybe there the same.

go to www.nastyz28.com and search for backspacing. God knows there have been LOTS of posts about it. And yes you can fit 315s.... but its real tight.
