Was looking at the mini tub frame kit from ABC performance. I would like to get achieve enough clearance to get a nice deep dish wheel in there. Will I need to narrow the rear end? Or is notching the frame adequate?
Thanks for the help

You can fit a 295 tire in pretty easily. For wheels, yes a really deep dish needs a narrowed axle but depends on how much you want...

I have a 305 on there right now on a 10" rim. I'd like to see an 11 or 12" rim with a 345. Would you know if notching the frame would be enough? Is a mini-tub required in that part as well?
Thank you

You can fit a 335 but if you lower the rear it will, rub under compression. 315 comfortably the abc kit will allow 335 without narrowing the axle. Do a search on here there are numerous threads regarding 68-72 A body's. If memory serves me correct you can do a 11" rim with 5 3/4" backspace on a stock rearend
Good luck Ryan Austin
