anybody do a mini tub?

Im getting new tires soon right now i have 275/50 r16 competition t/a's (pre gforce drag radial) im going to switch to the 295/50 r16 wheels only problem is my tires now rub just a little and only have half an inch clearance between the inside rear fenderwells so i need to add two or three inches of width to the fenderwells i dont want to run wheel spacers

so has anybody done this and taken pics? i cant find anything in the search bar 73-87 related or any pics of the process

I need fat tires!

Yes they do mount different so you would have to measure and make sure the new tub fits the hole you cut . I just cut my floor and moved the tubs in so there is a gap between the box and wheel tub but hopefully have time to widen them this year

Take a look at smokedats' thread. He added a section to his wheel tubs for clearance.
