I minitubbed one of my other builds. Stuffed a 27 x 11.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pro under the car.

Re: widest rear wheel with mini tub?

An 11 doesnt need a mini tub if its a 17 or larger diameter. A 12 will require a mini tub.
I did a pretty deep mini tu. On my 86 and run a 18x12 with. 335/30/18 tire. I can go wider and can fit a 13" wheel but there is really no tire selection for that size wheel.

Re: widest rear wheel with mini tub?

you can fit a 325 50 15. on a 15x10.275"rim 6.5 BS without a minitube.tires tucked under. by just moving a few things.more then beating with a hammer..but not minitubbed.
Also fits MT Sportsmen pro 29x12.5x15
