My 67 Coronet fits the M/T 10.5W x 31 slick but just barely. 69 GTX I am building will fit a pretty big tire - not sure if that technically will be considered a mini tub. Will be be running M/T 315/60-15 tire on the street with that car. Those tubs are in progress but not yet finished. Springs moved into the rail. 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......

It was raised a little in back, but can definitely go a good bit bigger with minitubs. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram
