Post your mini tubbed wheel and tire combos
I think your post was "lame" because the OP asked for wheel combo's and you came back with "Why?!?". Who cares? He wanted to know.
These cars are different, but they aren't that different. Unless you have a really spectacular example of a Monday morning or Friday afternoon car, they're usually within a 1/4". I made a spreadsheet of other peoples wheel and tire combo's because it allowed me to figure out almost exactly how much clearance I needed to run the wheel and tire combo I wanted. You know, before I spent $2k+ on rims and tires? And it had very little to do with the actual amount of space under the car.
Simply measuring won't tell you everything. Sure, it will tell you if a certain combo will physically fit in the stock wheel tub, but it doesn't tell you that 5/16" is all you need to the springs, but a 1/4" won't work. Or that a 1/2" can work on the quarters if you don't have a lot of body roll. But people that run that amount of clearance can, even if they don't have the same size wheels. Because everyone runs different size tires with different backspacing. A guy running 225/60/15's with 3.5" of backspace can tell me as much about clearance as a guy running 275's, maybe more. I couldn't find anyone that was running 295's on 18's on a lowered Duster , but I still figured out that I could do it, and confirmed it with my own measurements.
And seeing what is possible gives you ideas. So, why not?
Seriously, back to the topic. Someday I may want to mini-tub my car! :D
Here's some info from 72BBswinger since I haven't seen him post here yet. He runs 335's on his Dart...
