DSE Mini-Tubs (040401DS) - 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Make room for serious rear tire without giving up the factory-style appearance of your first-generation F-Body with Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs. Designed specifically for 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications, part number 040401DS replaces the stock inner wheel housings with stamped steel tubs that are 2-3/4 inches wider than stock. The additional room supports tires up to 315mm wide on 1967-1968 models and up to 335mm wide on 1969 models, giving performance builds the tire clearance needed to put substantially more rubber under the rear of the car.
Detroit Speed stamps these Mini-Tubs from 18-gauge steel with an OE-style appearance that integrates cleanly into the factory body structure. The package includes driver- and passenger-side Mini-Tubs along with the necessary frame rail and trunk floor steel closeouts, rear seat bracket closeouts, templates, and installation instructions. The comprehensive design eliminates the need to fabricate the basic sheet metal pieces normally associated with a custom mini-tub conversion, helping reduce fabrication time while producing a clean, professional installation. Detroit Speed manufactures the Mini-Tubs in the USA.
