Tube it and do a 13" wide wheel with 345mm tires.
You will be the coolest guy in Vallejo in my book!

By the wheels on that coupe posted his nine inch is shortened to run that kind of ofset wheel.
People mini tub to basically get a wider rim and tire under the car... You say how much? It depends on the wheel of your choice thats what the whole mini tub process is built around the WHEEL.
Price can easily start @ $2500+ when all done in materials and parts w/o labor, like i said its about the choice of wheel that will make or break the budget.
Im almost done w/ a mini tubbed drop top fox, i just havent had time to work on it but ill post up a nice thread about the car. The car is sittin on 18" 345 hoosier steam rollers ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) .

10.5 will fit with the right offset and tire combo. My 10's tuck under the fender. It's lowered over 2.5" in the rear, still have room a for .5" wider rim with a higher offset.
I'm pretty sure Luke87gt was running 18x10.5 and his fitment was on point.

those BBS RK wheels are 10" wide and i believe have less offset than a typical 10" replica(22mm), hence the reason why the wheel looks more out.
10.5" are possible on the rear of a fox but ull be limited in what tire width you go with(a 315 sumitomo doesnt count as they run closer to a 295). if you plan on running 295s u might as well keep the width to 10" and avoid the headache or pounding the inner wheel wells just to have a 10.5".
fox length axles, 285s, 22mm 10" wide wheel are perfect for foxes. for added clearance you can also tuck the wheels a bit more by going w/ more positive offset since there is a good amount of clearance on the inside.
