Deep Wheel Tub Kit - 62-67 Chevy II

The Deep Wheel Tub Kit for 62-67 Chevy II by Detroit Speed Engineering is engineered for serious street and strip enthusiasts who demand maximum wheel clearance without extensive frame modification. This kit addresses the core challenge that early Chevy II owners face when upgrading to larger diameter or wider wheels: factory wheel wells simply cannot accommodate modern rolling stock without binding or rubbing during suspension articulation. Built by Detroit Speed Engineering—a brand trusted by pro-touring and drag racing communities—this solution lets you run aggressive wheel-and-tire combos while maintaining factory-grade structural integrity and appearance.

This deep wheel tub kit utilizes precision-formed steel construction to extend the inner wheel well cavity, effectively pushing the tub floor downward and inward to gain critical inches of clearance. The design maintains OEM bolt-hole patterns where possible, simplifying installation for experienced fabricators, and the kit integrates seamlessly with stock suspension geometry, allowing full travel without interference. Detroit Speed's engineering approach ensures that suspension droop, compression, and cornering loads are all accommodated without compromise—critical for vehicles that see both road and track duty. The finished installation preserves the original Chevy II silhouette while unlocking modern tire sizing and aggressive fitment that would otherwise require cutting and welding.

Restoration shops, street rod builders, and vintage drag racers standardly specify this kit for 1962–1967 Chevy II projects targeting 18-inch or larger wheels paired with modern suspension upgrades. Installation requires welding and fabrication expertise, as the kit ships as precision-formed components ready for final fitment to your specific frame rails and suspension setup. Whether you're building a pro-touring machine, restomod, or vintage competition vehicle, the Deep Wheel Tub Kit eliminates the guesswork around wheel clearance, allowing your suspension and brake upgrades to breathe without interference. Weighing 21.3 pounds, the kit represents a significant structural improvement over fabric-patching or minor grinding—proper engineering for vehicles destined to perform.
