You guys that have minitubbed your novas by just extending the inner wheelwell, which minitub matches the factory wheeltub circumference? I have looked through jegs and summit but am unsure which tub dimentions to use. They have a 36" length tub, but I think that is a bit too much radius.

So which one do I need?

All you have to do is cut the ones you have out ahd move them over.If you will leave several inchs on each outside all you have to do is fill in the gap with a metal strip. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh90/albert4648/nova%20build%20II/minitub68.jpg

I haven't used them but I have heard good things about detroit speed deep tubs. I believe several members here have used them. Heres a link

What you are looking at is NOT a minitub, it's a full wheeltub for a BIG tire application. A minitub is usually done like previously mentioned.....just move the stock tub inboard, and fill the gap with a strip.
There are pix of my minitub job on my site under "My Nova"
And if you look in the "Shop Projects" album, you can see the MAXIminitub we're working on now.

Pls, pls, pls, don't put those wheel tubs you find in the catalog in your car.
Sectioning the factory wheel wells (as shown above) looks "factory" when done correctly. It takes a while to mini-tub, but man it sure looks good.
