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!
