You really can't "tub" a thirdgen without switching to a completely different rear suspension setup. Sure you can make the wheelwells a bit bigger, but the gas tank sits directly over the rear axle, so that would have to be moved. Then you have coil springs, shocks, and LCA's all within a few inches of the current tire. They would all have to be moved/replaced.

[TIM]If you are looking to hook, it's much easier and more cost effective to build the current suspension design to the max, rather than trying to throw lots of tire at the problem[/TIM]
