On Malitude it was a narrowed rear end, and I'd guess Mark did the same. If you minitub but keep the rear end stock width you end up with wheels with no depth to them. In other words, they'll have to have a lot of backspacing to be wide and still fit. If you narrow the rear you can get a more centered wheel offset which I think looks much better.
