Mini tub in a vert?
How hard is it to do mini tubs in a convertible? Do you lose any function with the top at all? Just curious really, maybe a someday project I've been contemplating.

The tops of the 'vert fenderwells (at least on every 'bird I've seen) is chopped down a good 1.5-2". Width is no different but it's the height that is. I know you can at least run a 27.1" tall tire with little to no rubbing up top, FWIW.

Been thinking about using 4thgen mini tubs in my vert to fit a deep dish... I'm wanna know if anyone has done this.
