1/4 and inner wheel well mod - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

couple of questions on possible rear 1/4 and inner wheel well modifications:

1. Would doing a mini tub job in the inner rear wheel wells - similar to the vette kit sold by lingenfleter (but via metal) and other kits help with getting larger tires under it? Something tells me the lower control arm in the rear limits the actual tire wheel combo that goes inward is that true?

2. Would stretching the rear 1/4 panels (similar to dragsters getting a true tub job) lead to a bigger and wider tire too or does one need to cut and relocate the top of the fender lip up and add some sort of rear finder flares?
