Can I get a 325/19 tire on 68 nova with mini tub and narrowed rear?

[novakane82]

Anyone with a 68 nova get a 325/19 or 18 to fit nice witn a narrowed rear end, mini tubs and possibly cutting and rolling fender lip if needed? Looking for the top fender lip to be even with top of rim for Stance in rear. Need only comments from guys who have done this or know if it can be done. I’ll also be knotching the frame rails and running an exact fit mini tub from autoweld if dse tubs round out too much on inner tub. I’ll be running a ride tech four link or speedtech torque arm if wondering.

No ones done this ??

Many have done it; it's quite common.

To clarify, you do not need a narrowed rear end for a minitubbed application. That's only if you want a deeper dish on your wheels.

Ya the narrowed rear is for a deep lip wheel I wanna run. See a million mini tub posts etc but aren't finding any with guys running a dse tub unmodified getting a 19×325mm tire. So was seeing if any guys have actually done it on here. Or are running a wider tub with notch frame and getting it tucked in. Trust me Iv combed the search forum for it. Must not be searching right wording

I have a 305/30r19 with DSE mini tubs on my Nova.

I wouldn't want any less space in there than I have now. The problem with Novas is two fold. First, if you trim the fender lip, the quarter panel still dips in right above the wheel opening, causing interference. The second problem is the outer wheel housing that attaches to the quarter panel eats into the available space. My car is really low, so I'm sure my situation is exaggerated, but still.

Just my 2¢.
