Mike kZ Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 That's not tubbing, that's adding fender flares. To "tub out" means to widen you stock wheel tubs from the inside. Check my link for pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 If I am not mistaken, you cannot tub out IRS, I would assume that you have, or will be switching to a solid rear axle. If this is the case, all you really need to do is cut the inner wheel well close to the inside of the fender and leave a lip on it. Then you can make your new wheel well, or just move that piece inboard and take a sheet of metal to fill in the space between the well and the lip. Here is a great pic from Mike kZ's page: Great pic and great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zachb55 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 those are the Subtle Z flares i believe. its a very nice looking kit that adds about 2 inches and takes a lot of work. http://www.reactionresearch.com/subtlez.html -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
