mini tub help and pictures

[draggin50]

I have been searching for some mini tub pictures and what all was required to do such a job. I have seen a ton of info on it but I'd like to see what people on here have done and what size wheel/tire combo and how much the rear was cut down.
Here is kinda what I'd like to see.

Check out Rick93coupe's build thread, there should be plenty of pics and info on his.

Here are some from my last car. It was using Wolfe mini tubs, 15x10 w/ 6.5 bs wheels, 325/50 tires and a 8.8 that was narrowed 2" per side. Any more questions feel free to ask.

[Rob]

[draggin50]

Holy Shit!!!! That looks nasty as hell! I like! What bs is the wheels and how much did you narrow the rear end?

[Rob]

Is that a 10 inch wheel?

[Blowpastyou]

Yes and 325/50's

[draggin50]

Looks good! I cant wait to get mine done.

[Walter]

You should have kept that black coupe Kenny...

[glassman]

You should have kept that black coupe Kenny...

He should have but it didn't work as a daddy daycare car... :lol:

[mustangboy]

Yeah the current car can fit the family so I can at least run the kids around town. The other car looked cool as hell but would have just sat in the garage.

Thats what the Red one does. :lol:

[mustangboy]

Hell no, if the weather is nice I usually drive the stang. Now the Excursion just sits

[draggin50]

Yeah the black one looked mean as hell! Hopefully thats what I can pull off with mine!

8.8 with 9" ends cut 1" 15x10 6.5 BS rim If I was doing it again I would do a 12" rim with offset control arms.

[TooFast98Cobra]

get the wheel out try it your self, lol its not that bad

[draggin50]

I had thought about it but i dont have a welder. It dont look that hard.

[draggin50]

Any more pics people? I got mine almost done now and now I have went back with an 8.8 so Im going to be having it narrowed and go with a different bs of wheel.

[draggin50]

Well I got rid of the 9 inch back to Denny so Im going with the 8.8 and stock suspension now. I was thinking around 2.5 to 3 inches removed from it. I dont think Ill be able to use the same wheels now though but we'll see.

[one90gt]

there are pics of mine in my build thread.
weels are not mounted yet but its a 15 x 10 with 4inch bs
need the rear end cut down 3+ each side.

[draggin50]

3 inches gets pretty close to the lower control arm mount. Did you go with the offset lower control arms? Id like to do 3 inches on mine as well since I already had the wheels for when the 9 inch was in it. They are 15x10 with 3.5 bs. I just dont wanna come up short and have clearance issues with wheel/tire and lca.

[one90gt]

I havent had the rear cut down yet, but i think that you would clear the lca. im guessing 3.5 is what ill have to have cut off, maybe 3.75. i took a few picks of the wheel mounted to an 8.8, and a pic of the distance to my lca. the 8.8 came off a sn95 car if that makes any difference.

[draggin50]

I took mine and dropped it off yesterday to be cut down and have the 9 inch ends welded on. My housing was appr. 54 inches from flange to flange. I had almost 4 inches from the flange to the LCA bracket on each side. I think I can get about 3 inches shorter and run the offset lower control arms from Team Z and get away with a 4.5 inch bs wheel. Ill have to measue for wheel size once its done and in the car.

if i can help with pics or measurements of anything let me know.

[draggin50]

Ok thanks. I have pics of the 9 inch in mine which was 46 inches wide flange to flange. I think all I can go on the 8.8 is 48 max. And I had 15x10 wheels with 3.5 bs with 325/50s.

[03z06vette]

Ill post pics of mine on wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

[draggin50]

Cool please do! I love the way they look.

[draggin50]

Here is mine with the 9 inch in it. It was 46 inches flange to flange with a 15x10 wheel with 3.5 inch bs. and 325/50 radials.

[draggin50]

Im gonna bring this back up! Which ends are people running? Im trying to stay as close to 3 inches off each side and from what Ive seen there are a few different ends to use. What bearing is everyone else running?

[draggin50]
