Question Mini tubbed 3rd Gen Nova tire Question

Will a 325/30/19 Tire (Michelin Pilot Sport example) fit without a lot of modifying other than the Mini Tubs - using a 19X11 Wheel, I Hear they will work with no issues, anyone got any facts/pics ?

Does anyone know if there are any 315/30/19's available ? I know 305/30/19's are.

This is a Street / Driver Car

Thank you!

Anything can fit with enough modification. 325 should fit might need to massage the inner fenders some. I am going to try and fit a 345 tire in mine.

I ran a 325 under my car with zero issues. Backspacing is critical obviously.

The only place on mine that is really tight, the front inner part of the tub down at the bottom.
I'm running 315/35 17s on an 11" wide wheel. My backspace wouldn't help you much unless your rearend has been narrowed the same as mine and you were looking for the same wheel dish I have (very little dish).

I run 18x12 with 315/30/18 right now, but I have run a 335/30/18 No rubbing. My wheel tubs are DSE with alittle cutting and welding done to them.
