Owl Vans gives a step by step walkthrough of how to install larger tires on your new 2019 Mercedes Sprinter Van VS30. Video includes details on how to trim the sheet metal, install the Van Compass Fender Relocation Kit, as well as trimming the inner wheel wells.
Tires above a 245 will rub on a 2019 and newer Sprinter. This video shows the steps to install 275 70R 17s (33") tires. Tires up to 35" can be installed with this kit. Keep in mind tires over 275 can cause issues with the onboard electronic like adaptive cruise control.

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.

I spoke with an engineer friend of mine in Austria. He works with Sprinter 4x4's and tells me any larger wheels or tires make it impossible for the stability control to keep the van in control or even upright. I just took delivery of a 4x4 Sprinter and it says the same thing in the manual. In my opinion this van is already SO tall that putting bigger tires and wheels on might make it too tippy. Besides, is it necessary? Where are people trying to rock crawl this thing anyway? Maybe if the trail requires more than stock you shouldn't be taking a van this size down it anyway? I do think that on road stability is more important that a little bit of higher off road capability...

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

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.

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?

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.

IMO the best bang for your buck you is the Classic MODE. Sprtiner has SO many more options for aftermarket and you can dial the van in just like you want it. Diesels also hold their resale value much better.

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.
@owlvansengineering
@owlvansengineering 3 жыл бұрын
All accomplish the same thing. Van Compass is the cheapest (and you can do the rears) but it takes more time to install. Mondo is expensive but faster to install. We don’t buy anything from Agile so we would not be familiar with that product.

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?

Captain Carter if you go bigger than 275’s you have to recalibrate the speedometer or you will get errors with the ECU. I have heard MB dealers will do this but we have not tried yet so we cannot confirm.
