Rear End Housing Length for Mini Tub

[442Lou]

Hello all, I'm gonna be mini tubbing my car to fit 15x10 with a 6.5" BS. Do any of you know how much I'm going to need to shorten the length of my rear end housing to compensate?

With that much backspace I would think you would not have to shorten it at all since you are only pushing the rim 3.5" outward which is probably the same as a factory 15 x 7 rim with 3.5 of backspace so the distance to the outer wheelwell would be the same as that.

You're absolutely right. Took me a minute to realize, but it clicked eventually. Thank you, sir.
