Personally Id make my own. If you know anyone with a bead roller and get some sheet aluminum, they arent hard to make at all. If you dont want to go that route, you can try removing the original wheel wells, cutting them down the middle, and welding in a filler strip. It all depends on how big youwant the tubs, but if youare already back halving the car, you may just want to go with the aluminum ones, that way you arent limiting yourself on tire size at all. You can also pick up tub kits through Summit or possibly ebay if you dont know anyone with a bead roller, or dont feel comfortable making your own.

wheel tubs
i dont have a problem making my own tubs, but id like to buy a mini tub. ive already figured out what im gonna do. i bought a set of tubs from Summit and im gonna use them. ive already got all the cutting and grinding done on the factory tubs. just gotta wait until thursday for my new tubs to show up. im using the summit 36x23.25 to put in my charger. thats a pretty big tub to me. plus my tires arent massive by any means. they are only 29.5x10.5x15w thanks for the info.

Well, youll have plenty of room to go bigger in the future if you want. If you find anyone that does sell mini tubs, let me know, ill have to take a look at them. Ill probably be making the mini tubs in mine the way that I was talking about by cutting the wheel wells apart and adding the filler, but it cant hurt to check out stuff thats already out there.
