Lol.
Bro, srsly...
2hp electric die grinder (for porting cast-iron heads) with a 3" cutoff wheel, 2 fender rollers with an assortment of different shaping wheels, and a hammer&dolly kit.
Needless to say, I was wrong when I assumed I could make 12.5s fit with minimal camber and an easy pull and roll.... So wrong... So terribly terribly wrong...
I had to do some serious work to the inner fenders and completely reshape the fender lips, not to mention the 2 cans of worms I had to open getting there.
I honestly think if you were prepared with full rear arms set, a good roller, grinder with cut off wheel, heat gun and a hammer and dolly kit, you could make these fit on a clean virgin car.

Alignment is all out to lunch, goes in on Thursday afternoon. Then she is driveable...
If you are following me on IG, you know all the work that I'm talking about! Probably one of the crappiest jobs I have done in years as far as all of the surprises and headaches.
And you'd need a bit more of a trade than your LS for the porker Julian....
The garage and especially the hoist was definitely a huge help in doing this work. Being able to raise and lower the car onto those blocks with my slider plates made all the test fitting and adjustments much easier and faster! Best $800 I ever spent! Ha!
