Wheel Tubs, Fender Wells & Wheel Housings

Need more traction? Make room for bigger wheels and tires with a set of wheel tubs or mini-tubs from Summit Racing Equipment.

When it comes to spirited or competitive driving, stock-size wheels and tires will only take you so far. Wider tires will give you a larger contact patch, but how do you keep them covered? Fender flares can be an easy solution for some, but making room by extending the wheel wells inward makes more sense for a number of reasons, including aerodynamics. That’s when it’s time to tub!

Mini-Tubs vs. Full-Size Tubs

The difference between full-size wheel tubs and mini-tubs comes down to how much modification you want to perform on the structure of the vehicle. Mini tub kits usually fit inside the existing frame (or subframe on a unibody vehicle), but some require some notching. Full tubs accommodate larger tires—like drag slicks—and require extensive modifications, usually involving a rear frame rail kit to attach the suspension to the vehicle. Exact sizes and installation procedures will vary from vehicle to vehicle.

You can use our Make/Model search engine to find the wheel tubs compatible with your vehicle, or shop by dimensions.
