Anyone ever "mini tub" a 3rd gen?

I have been searching alot of info on the "pro touring" cars, and one thing that alot of them are doing, is running between 315 and 335/35/17s on the back. I would love to fit that sort of tire under my 91 Camaro for traction and the cool factor. Does anyone know if it it possible to put mini tubs into a third gen without making a mess of things? This would be done by a professional of coarse, not myself.... Thanks for any help.

315/35/17s fit w/o mini-tubbing. If you search ahrd enough there are probably 5 sets of pics of cars with 'em around here somewhere.
Just figured i'd let you know since noone else is chiming in.
