I guess no one has done this to a 7. Is it 'cause you don't think it needs it or 'cause you just can't do it.

I think the newb is in a hurry to increase his post count. He posts like 5 times in a row, in the same threads.

Tub..to widden the rear wheel wells and move suspension inward along with shorter axels. Fits wider tires but looks stock....well sort of. just trying to collect ideas on what to do to my 7 before I deside. I would like to have a car of my own plans and ideas. Thanks for all the help so far.

Sorry about the multiple posts. I'll try to keep it down.

Depends why. If you plan to drag race then sure tub the car. Although, you can already fit 235s with little trouble to the back of a 7.

I've been thinking about mini-tubbing simply to run really wide tires (for looks mostly... I know, I know ), but it's not a priority. There'd be a bit of work involved.
