Hello. Here is some update....

Yesterday I bought the DSE minitubs and some other sheet metal from Classic Industries.

I removed the stock 10 bolt and leaf springs from the rear and installed temporarily the ride tech lower bars and bracket to the 10 bolt to check how much tyre clearance I have left. There is room for 335/30/18.....

I also jacked up the axle to almost ride height to see how it will look.

What do you tell me regard using mounting perches on the new rear end.. Will it look ugly if I use mounting perches and ridetech lower braket (as shown in the photo)?

Hello,
Regarding tyres are Michelin 335/30 ZR18 good? Or shall I go for BFG? Michelin is easier to find over here but BFG is more difficult.

If you are tubbing the rear you should be able to fit more then 335s on your car. I have 315s on mine with a stock suspension setup.

Hi, so you mean you have 315 tyres at the rear without inside tubbing?

But will the tyre fits inside and underneath the fender lip? Is it possible to post some pictures please?

Thanks for your post

Mine dont, and cant. There is less than 10mm to the leaf spring. The outside is under the wheel lip.
