How To Install Bigger Wheels/Tires on 2019 Mercedes Sprinter Van VS30 with Van Compass Kit

Thanks John, very helpful demo.

Great Video! I’ll be following these steps for my 2019. Definitely grabbing some Owl Wheels like these!!

Great camper van!! Totally out of my financial reality however. The wife an I are in our 60’s, we enjoy weekend camping and vacations in our vintage 1997 GMC 1500 Savana high top conversion van. This van I’ve owned for 10 years and is in very good condition. I am having the suspension upgraded with only a very slight lift. The plan is to swap the 15” stock wheels and tires for 16” larger all terrain tires for better gravel road/ dirt road adventure camping that we often do. Any recommendations or general advice about tire size upgrades?

Nice job/explanation. Btw, I wish you were in business before purchasing 6k of product from Aluminess. They had to send me multiple bumpers and swings and never did get a good fit.

How do you feel about the taller gearing in the final drive that is created by using the larger diameter tire set up? The difference in diameter is about 5.25% I believe, which is significant, in term of gearing.

Awesome video, thank you!

After cutting away what about possible wheel cutting from bouncing?

Is there a big difference in fuel consunctio and confort from smaller to bigger. I mean most km are on the road so, what is really the point of going bigger. Looks safety, speed. Great job anyway👌

Great video. Planning on purchasing a Storyteller but keep bouncing back and forth between one of their Sprinters and their Ford Transit Mode LT. QUESTION- Do you know what the biggest tire size is that will work on the Ford ???

Personally i would not cut my sprinter i used a heat gun on the inner plastics push and reshaped offending areas. Worked well and keeps stones and mud splash out.

What kind of socket torx set are you using?

Great video!!!! One question, have you found a way to adjust the speedometer and such to compensate for the larger tires? I put the same size tires on my 2014 sprinter van and the speedometer was off by about 4 mph at 70 mph. I now have a 2020 Sprinter and would like to upgrade to larger tires, but I would sure like it better if I could somehow adjust the speedometer to compensate for the larger tire setup. Any ideas?

Would some 17x8 wheels with an offset of 40 fit a sprinter 170? Thanks

Much easier to go with Mondo mudguards from Terrawagen, no cutting and you don't need to remove the wheels. Overall just easier.

Great video. Did you ever cut the rear wheel fender flare?

Hi there . What’s the biggest 17 inch tyre you can fit without having to do the mods you’ve done in this video please .

Has anyone made a larger spare tire carrier for the larger 275 tires. Yes you should put a spare on the back door but a second spare is also a good idea because that sharp rock that takes out your front tire can do the same on the tire behind it.

How to recalibrate speedmeter for bigger tire?

Does this work for 2wd?

Hey all, has anyone done a good comparison between the Agile Off-road No Rub kit, this Van Compass Option, and the Terrawagen Mondo Mud guard kit? I’m interested in both the aesthetics and the function… it’s pretty hard to find good side by side comparison. Thx.
