Wheel Tub Size & Tire Growth

[@kristengunter2022]

That was my husband in the first photo. Worked there long ago. Something he was very proud of. He was a carbon fiber pro.

I always wanted to work in a chassis shop I always heard the pay isn’t that great ?

[@Taras-Nabad]

Wow, new knew the tire does not expand evenly. Good explanation.

Excellent info I'm building a tubbed car

Thank You for sharing the details!!!

They should make a ten layer peel off inner wheel well kit. Sorta like the face screens they make for dirt track racers.

[@groomlake51]

Hi. Thank you Karl Australian friend

[@magnus5356]

Would there be any negative effects of having to big of a tub?

[@vmaxes]

Less room in the car

[@magnus5356]

True Kerry. But that's not really an issue in a Pro-mod style chassis. I'm thinking more if you buy a car built for big tires but want to run small. Aerodynamics under the car must be affected some..?

[@bretlambky]

I wonder if a reducer of some sort would work. Like a plug that covered part of the lower wheel well. With even an air foil to divert air flow without creating lift or drag.

[@groomlake51]

Bret Lambky there’s this thing called a rule book

[@bretlambky]

Groom Lake depending on the class your racing in, rules vary. I am well aware of the NHRA and IHRA guidelines. My statement was simply a suggestion for potential resolutions given the correct approval Thinking outside of the box never hurts.

4th Thanks for the info Tim it sure comes in handy for me.

[@smokefast90606]

If I'd be lucky enough to even get a battery change by this man well I'd be really really lucky

[@cameronboyer9041]

Thay built me a badass pro mod mustang GT 🔥 amazing job

[@groomlake51]

Spray pledge on to the inner wheel well before each run and rubber will never stick to it😎 make sure to not get it on the tire🤨
