i was reading a street commodores, an older issue and tubbing was in there engineering section question place. and the engineer said that tubbing can be done if it does not affect the structual strength of the car and doesnt effect like back seats if u keep them in or seat belt anchorage points. and as for your second question, i thought you have to have the same diameter rims on both wheels. as for width, i think the front cannot be smaller than what they came stock as or a minimum or 5" to a maximum of 10" at the front |

Also legal and not easily spotted might go hand in hand  What state are you in ? makes it a bit hard to give you an exact answer what about nsw? if you tubbed say a few inches or so would it be legal with no engineering etc? |

You'd find the problem would moreso lie in the wheel width and those being legal/illegal. The maximum width is 1.3 times the manufactuer's widest optional tyre. |

The maximum width is 1.3 times the manufactuer's widest optional tyre. So if your car came with 5" wide tyres, fitting 10" wide is highly illegal, and trust me, they'll notice. ROCK ON R~R But lets just say in NSW as the above post of yours, you can get bigger/wider wheels engineered so totally legal. hondapwr, It has,is and will be done many times again. Best bit of advice I can give is talk to an workshop that carries out these mods

Victory is ok but you will not get ANY kind of wheel tubs passed and engineered in qld... Have tried, and my brother would love to with his 15x 15's on his chev but will not happen in qld. |

Would something like this have to be engineered? |
