There are no real "mini tubs" on a third gen. The inside of the fender is already at the "frame rail". The best you can do is increase the radius at the front of the inner fender to allow a taller tire.

About the only thing you can do to increase the width is to cut off the bump stop mount and weld a plate over the hole.



Or you could buy these

6.5 inch is too much. The most backspacing you can have is about 5.8 inchs. IIRC
