fitment
well brotha it all depends on the tiresize,rim you will be using and back space you should be able to fit a decent size tire under there,next question what kind of power you running that you think you may need bigger meats i had a malibu with a 29x12.50 ran 9:20in the qtr lmk interested in what you have no specs just cubes

I should leave things alone, I know, but I have to ask "Why?". This isn't exactly an uncommon alteration. I am contemplating it myself, for next spring. Though if it's done I'll do it myself, plasma is my friend.

Ya 20x12 is the size of the wheel i'm looking to stuff in the rear. I should be more detailed in my questions and or responses. I've always loved the super wide wheels in the rear of almost any muscle car and cutting into the frame should be a cheaper alternative to get that look.

Here is some pictures of what has to be done just in case you haven't seen it, the thumbnails are gone for the pics but the pictures are still there, http://www.azsupersport.com/minitub.asp , no my car, but it looks like the did about an inch notch in the frame.
Here is another thread, scroll down to about post 17 or 18, that is where I got the link for above. Sorry I forgot the thread http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=227867

Constructive? He asked a price and thats what i gave him. He is in Cali unless he knows a good fab man or chassis it will prob cost him more. Im thinking of doing this to mine in the future to fit a 22x 12 and leave it lowered. One thing that will vary the price is how they mini tub. My chassis man uses a 2 inch insert. Basically he cuts it at the seam and just widens the tub and welds it back in much cheaper than installing a new tub. My price may be biased as i help him work on my car to save money.

Didn't mean anything by it, I guess that I mis read his post, for some reason I had it stuck in my mind he asked how much as far as width, so my fault, revised my previous statement
