Has anyone Tubbed out a 71 and up B Body? I would like to be able to put wider tires on but still would like a back seat, any ideas are sure to b appreciated!

Thanks

Unless you relocate the leaf springs your not going to gain anything by tubing it..

so if I relocate the leaf springs to the original chasis structure and reinforce it should work right?

How wide of tire are you wanting to go? The 71-74 B bodies already have a lot of room back there, especially if you relocate the leaf springs.

nothing to crazy but wide enough so I can get better traction and not have the tread sticking outside of the body,

what are you running for a rear tire now ?

i would like to ride a set of 15x10' rims I got given to me from a friend??

consider mini-tubbing,and install a inboard spring mount in the frame,and that will be plenty of room.someone else here that has a done car should chime in to give exact measurements,but I would guess 12-14" width would be easy...just remember,big tires are very expensive,so add up costs before you cut,lol....mike...oh,i have 15x8+295-65-15's on mu 72 charger w/ no mods.

I did some measuring on mine and I can fit a 325/50/15 under the car with only a spring relocation. That would need a 10" rim with a custom backspacing and that tire measures 13.25" wide from bulge to bulge. I assume chargers have about the same space back there are their plymouth counterparts.

I run a 28X10.50 ET Drag slick on 10" wide 15" rims with 5" of backspacing with no modifications.

I am running 15 x 10 with a 5 inch backspace and 295/65/15 on my 74. I went with the offset shackles as stated above. You will have to weld new perches to the rear end housing and the rest is a bolt in deal.

I run 18x10 which makes for 12" of tire.

15x12 on mine with a 30/12.5 ET Street on mine with a mini-tub, I have tons of room.

thanks for the replies.

Maybe I will have to take a better look at relocating the springs, I would like to do maybe a mini Tub but then i'd have to mess with the trunk mechanism and that looks complicated?!

So if I relocate the springs I would probably have to customize the rear end to fit?
