Default Need opinions : To cut or not to cut?

Hey guys, I need some opinions. I'm trying to decide weather to mini tub the camaro or not.



Just to give you a little history. I've owned the car since I was 14. It's been restored since 1990. I have never had any intention to modify the car at all until last spring. I drove it to a local car show and realized that the stock car just didn't do it for me anymore. So I have dicided that if I was going to get it out and enjoy it, I was going to make it enjoyable for me. I picked up another sub-frame that I plan to modify for coil-overs, rack and pinion, ect. in the rear I plan on running a 4 link(that would be a bolt in design like the Ridetech kit) with watts link. The orignal plan was to turn the car in to a pro-touring car, without any heavy modifications. That way if in the future I wanted to put it back stock I could. Problem is I want to run a large rear tire. I know I can get a 285 under it without cutting, but I don't know if that is going to give me the look I want. I have access to a set of 295's mounted on some 18X10 wheels and some 335's mounted on 18X10 wheels. I already have a set of 18X8 front and 18X9.5 rears. I'm not sure the 335's would fit the wheels correctly anyway. But I think a set of 315s may be ok for the 9.5s.

So my question is, would you try to sqeese some 295's on it (with a little massaging here and there) or would you bite the bullet and mini-tub it and put either 315s or 335s on it?

Thanks in advance,
Scott
