Looking to add a meaty seat of tires to your vintage Mustang? You’ll likely need more clearance, and Detroit Speed is here to help. The company based in Mooresville, NC has released a new deep tub kit for the 1964.5 to 1970 Ford Mustang that allows for wider rear wheel and tire packages. Stamped from 18-gauge steel, the deep tubs are up to 2.5-inches wider than stock and come with a replacement framerail section and doubler reinforcement plates. They also retain the stock appearance and are designed for a perfect fit.
So how big can you go? Detroit Speed states that up to 11-inch wheels with 315 series tires can be fitted to the 1964.5-1968 Mustang, while up to 12-inch wheels with 335 series tires can be fitted to the 1969-1970 Mustang. Retail pricing is listed at $400.00.
