Nice job covering a lot of info in detail. Especially appreciated the sections on beadlocks and offests. Thanks John!
-
I know this is an older video but I just wanted to say great job explaining concepts in such an easy to understand way. I come from the car racing world and now looking into a van and while i thought I knew all there was to know about wheels you taught me some new things! The content you guys put out is just some of the best I have seen. I am going through watching all the videos.
-
Such a tease. More about the new Owl wheels please! They look awesome.
-
Great video John! Can’t wait to see the owl wheels come out!
-
This was the most informative and clear explanation of what to do (and not do) when changing wheels and tyres on a van (or RV in my case).
-
Super info (like always) on a difficult subject. Thanks OWL
-
You guys rock! Your products are the best on the market!
-
This video is a gold mine of information, thank you.
-
Thanks! After building and generally messing around with cars and trucks for 60+ years, I learned some things! I’m never too old to learn.
-
Good timing! I'm picking up my 17" Rhinos next weeek. Just got your spacers on.
-
I run your Owl Wheel Spacers - Very happy with them and how it feels off-road. Took a while for me to get used to the 'feel' of the spacers on pavement and at 120km/75mph. Love the lug bolts because it makes wheel changes a lot easier. Quality product. Thank you.
-
Great info! When will your ladder hit your website? I own everything else ya make. Almost. lol Great products.
-
They should put this video in tire shops like "just tire". Great. I learned. From Bambi
-
excellent info...thank you so much !!!!
-
Adding to your DOT restriction of beaded wheels, insurance companies also take a very dim view on them (as in won’t payout if an accident is caused by a blow out with a beaded wheel…glad it wasn’t my jeep! Haha). And when are you opening the phoenix location!?
-
12.5 / 275 is the carcass width on recommended wheel width, NOT the tread width.
-
I'm assuming you are running the Owl spacer on those 38mm offset arsenals? Thank you
-
Thanks very informational
-
Will the 275/70/17 tires fit on newer 2wd sprinters if it has a suspension kit?
-
Anyone have thoughts on spare wheel & tire size being different. Right now, I’m relying on the factory spare setup while running KO2s on 17 inch Method rims. I’m a little worried about the differential and whatever negative consequences the ECU may have in store for me should I use the mismatched spare to get home.
