I've been thinking about mini tubbing my car, and a have the G bar setup.

I did not have to move the lower arm inward. I bolted it to the original front spring pocket location and used that to locate the lower bracket on the rear end housing. It is a tight fit and I would not recommend any more wheel width then I have which is a 315 tire on an 11" wheel on a 68' with my exact setup. It is worth noting that my rear suspension is the first generation of the AirBar and RideTech (and others) have made improvements to help with the control arm to wheel clearance on newer versions. You can now order a kit for a mini tub that offsets the control arm to the innermost side. It uses a bushing on the leaf spring pocket side. While this doesn't move the mounting locations it does provide additional clearance from the control arm to the tire/wheel. I am sure I could order the parts to retrofit as the mounting points don't change but think I am okay as is. Hope that info helps.
