Default mini tub (rear wheels)

I believe it was a thread or photo gallery of mini tubbed fox and I can't find it...
have a set of billet rear wheels and my backspacing is 3.5 on a 15x10in rim my
plan is to go with a 15x12 rim and 6in of bs but the billet wheels won't clear my
rear wildwood disc breaks..just looking for some pics or ideas on what rims to go
with..thanks in advance...the plan is 15x12 rim and 28x10.5w...

I know a 15x10 with a 6.5bs will fit with stock tubs and a stock rearend....lots of massaging but Ive seen lots of pics of it done. Do you already have the car mini tubbed? Maybe Iam reading this wrong?

Yes, I have a 9in under my coupe I already had it measured
just looking for some pics of rear wheels cause I can't use the
billets that I have because the 12in rim won't work with the
wildwood rear breaks so looking for some photos of rear race
wheels on coupes basically...

Those are 15's correct? I know 5.0kid runs prostars with wilwoods out back if I remember right and they fit.

pro stars will not fit on a wilwood disk set up unless you run a spacer. Im at a 3/8 spacer and the wheel weights have to be on the inside lip of the rim otherwise they snag the caliper, **** poor design but its because of where the mounting flange of the prostar rim starts to come down. you can make it fit but you will have to run a spacer for clearance
