Hi guys I have a 70 charger I'm looking on doing a mini tubs. I've seen some posts on how you guys did yours but two questions, like did you take the inner wheel well all the way flush with the frame or did you leave the lip of the frame rail? what size rims are you guys running 10 inch 12 inch? and with what tire on a 10 inch or 12 inch and did you trim or roll the outer wheel opening.
any replies will be greatly appreciated as I planned to do this project in the next few weeks

A 10" wheel fits a stock tub so 12's would be in order with mini tubs. The general concensus seems to be to take them right to the rail.

572, what width wheel are you using? Also what kind of front wheel do you have? I thought I saw a pic. of your car some where and I didn't recognize the wheel. Always liked your car.

Thanks Jim, breaking front wheels like that seams odd, even if your a car wheel stands big time.
