I know that the mini tubs are a must but I am wondering if the rear end has to be shortened when running a 315 or 335 rear tire?

Thanks

You'll just need a lot more backspacing than you would if you were narrowing the rear.

Yep, it works. Like ITDORUN said above, you just need to add extra backspace so you'll have stock looking dish which isn't bad at all on a 69.
