Hey guy just want to know what's the widest tyre you guys have fit on your car with it mini tubbed but still retain the standard shock?

The shock is the limiting factor mate. If you go coilover and to the rail you'll get a 10.5 under there. Mines about 2 inches into the rail and sits on the deck with a 10.5 with plenty of room to spare- although it's 4 linked, 9 inch coil over etc.

hey vl4skids are you running disc brakes? Looking at tubbing my car to the rail and running some dish but unsure how much width and dish i can get if running discs. Setup will have coilovers and 4 link and of course shortened diff. thanks

Hey mate, na I'm not. I set it up with 3 inch backspacing for max dish haha, so I ended up running drums. You can spin the caliper if you really want to, but there's nothing wrong with drums!

Yeah drums will do the job at the end of the day. Can u still get parts for drums?

Yeah I rebuilt mine when I put them on, powdercoated the drums and backing plates with all the other suspension

yeah i know the shock is the limiting factor, just wanted to see before i put coil overs in. Has everyone got any under car pics of there suspension setups ( coil over or 4 link ) as i am going to do the work my self when do actually do it. Cheers guys

I'm still no good at putting pics up lol, but ill give it a try later on for ya

I got 10's on the rear of mine without mini tubs! just have shorted billet axels =)

Will a VL fit 28x10.5, tubbed to the rail with coil overs? How do you go running a back seat with something like this?

Yes but it will be mega jacked up in the a$$. I was originally doing that to my car, sat the wheel tyre combo in the wheel well and it wasn't pretty haha, so I took a few inches from the rail and there's more room than I would've thought.

Not that im too worried, but what are the legalities of going into the rail, on a street car?

I enquired with 2 engineers in act, they both had no problem with the rear end- notched into rail, 4 link, coilovers, solid mounted sway bar, track locator-all the gear. The only downfall with the engineering process on my car is the 6 point cage which really sucks

Just buying a new roller now which has 11.5" slicks on it with it only to the rail... Will get up pics when I get it back
