Narrowed rear and fat tires?????
Looking to go as narrow as I can on rearend without mini tubs, I have trimmed the wheel lips and cut a lot on inner body, prior to inner body trim I had to run a 1/2 in spacer afterwards I could run without spacer, so I definitely gained some room. Right now I have a 9 in that is narrowed 1 in on each side and running 28x12x18 MT tires with no spacers. I have about 3/4 of in on inside and 3/4 on outside.
So what's the widest 28 in tire that anyone has inside rear fender wells?
And what is the narrowest rearend without mini tubing?

I want to say that a friend of mine had 325 or 335, I could be wrong though. Required tubular LCAs, rolled fender lip, and a BFH. This was on a stock width 10 bolt.

Mine's narrowed 2.5" each side and I'm running M/T 28x10.0-15's (3055S) and a 15x10 wheel with 5.5" backspace. The tire has an 11.7" section width, I had to trim the bottom of the bumper cover and cut the inner lip of the fender as well as a couple of whacks with the BFH to the bottom front of the inner fender.

I know the rears are 17 by 11 I'm unsure of the backspacing. I know the fronts are custom offset to clear the baer brakes. I bought the car with the wheels on them as a roller
