Super Single Wheels for the 3500 Sprinter Van
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Shadowmarq is the first to convert a Sprinter 3500 dually to Super Single with the REIKA Rambler R35V. The set is rated at 4,400lbs per wheel to meet & exceed the load rating of the rear axle and GVWR. Combined with Toyo RT Trail 295/70/17 tires with nearly 4,000lbs max load capacity, you can finally ditch your dually wheels. Comes in satin black or bronze color finishes.
These are exclusively sold by Shadowmarq Industries www.shadowmarq.com/reika-sprinter-wheels
Great video, Very well explained and nice curtsey towards the dually Outside Van guy
Great video. Thanks for sharing all the details and your knowledge.
Thanks Jason!!
Adrenaline vans in Montrose Colorado will reprogram your module for any sized tire diameter.
Agile Offroad, owl vans and many other van shops will do this for you. Depending on the method they are using you might send a module in for programming, purchase a multifunctional accessory module or go to the shop for module reprogramming. All methods are changeable to any diameter changes you desire in the future. And all the Mercedes baby sitters will work or you can have then programed to default off and selectable on or simply permanently off. Can have 360 camera function on while driving as well if desired. Anything you want is available today. We'll except for aftermarket front differential ratios to correct for the torque lost and exponential escalation of rotational inertia resulting from taller heavier tires.
You can also purchase OBD2 flash tuners from Renntech. Shadowmarq Industries has a list of installers than can help out.
Your Rig with the Reika Wheels and Toyo Tires looks great brother!!
Thanks! I loved the steelie look, but these Reikas killed it with the design.
@@morevanever1311They sure did!!
Please discuss how you cover these big tires. You failed to talk about the fender flares. Possibly a key to selling this wheel tire combination to some customers. Also, how much lift is needed. And again about the fenders. Show all the fender and bumper cover cutting required for the flares to be installed. Also, the epoxy used to seal the cut metal.
Wide fender flares look great, but they're not necessary. You can choose from Terrawagen or Xbull. In the front, you'll definitely want to get the Terrawagen Mondo Mud Guards for either a Sprinter 906 or 907. There is also some trimming and forming of the wheel liner at the front of the wheel towards the bumper. The rear doesn't need any trimming with the 295/70/17's. 34's and 35's will need rear trimming and ideally cutting the rear mud flaps.
I would hope that anybody taking it upon themselves to do trimming will also take the right measures to paint/seal the cut metal.
A bit half baked. All five Wheels should be the same, all five interchangeable, all five rotatable, like they do with the super duty trucks.
Not really. Ask any dually owner if they ever rotated their 6 tires. Nope, it's too complicated. Super single owners aren't buying wheels to rotate.
I second this , you don't rotate dually tires in the traditional sense . I have two spares so total of 8 wheels , I rotate the rear wheels swapping the inners with outers and I switch my fronts out with the new spares . Replace as needed
@@charlesnothing8369 Yes, but I think this shows a lack of experience running Super singles. When you switch from dually's on the rear to singles on the rear, you'll find that the rear tires will wear twice as fast as the fronts because the rear of the van still weighs nearly twice as much as the front, and most of the drive happens through the rear wheels so they spin the most and they skid the most, yet now they have the same contact patch as the fronts. Also making the fronts larger and wider on IFS can increase uneven wear, which can only be fixed by rotating.
Awesome product. The combo with the fender flares looks great. Do you know what the fender flares mfg and model is on the white van you featured ? Can’t seem to find them for 2019+. Thx.
With the 295s you suggested how far out of the front wheel well will the tires sit. I have terrawagon fender flares but get a feeling it may not be far enough. The xbull ones look great but 3k is steep. Also will I need to get the AO sliding door popout thingy to clear the rear tire with the sliding door?
They dont poke that much. The terrawagon flares are a great add-on. Sliding door isn't really an issue, and not always needed. On electric sliding doors, you can preset the opening length in case there is a potential contact. Terrawagen makes a sliding door kit as well.
Great video and info, what tire pressure do you run? Difference in front and back?
Thank you. On-road I run 60psi in the front, and 65 in the rear. Off-road I go go 30 front, and 35 rear.
so all the Super-Singles that you guys make are for track and off-road ?!
I am looking for a On-the-Road type like 18" or bigger size with road tires
They are for highway driving too.
What do you recommended wheel offset on 17’s when installing 6 pistons big brakes? +32 or +35 or more?
Yea those offsets work fine. The hat on the rotor has spacing built into it. We haven't had any fitment issues even with some of the wheels from Method and Owl.
have you had to cut the wheel arches to make them fit ?
Just the Terrawagen fender trim kit, which is standard for anybody that wants to go with larger tires anyways... Regardless of 2500 or 3500 vans.
Any plans to launch a super single for AWD Ford 350 Transit?
it's been talked about. We're just not seeing as many transit dually vans on the road as sprinter 3500's.
Axe the music please.
What is the weight capacity of the 295/70R17s ? Are these load range E?
Most load E in a 295 are 31xx to 38xx lbs. You can look at most of the load ratings for a tire on sites like tirerack.
on the shadowmarq.com website, there are (4) recommended tires for this super single application. All of them have a load rating of 3970lbs per tire (Load E) that exceed the load rating of the rear axle. The wheels are rated at 4400lbs.
It's cool to have options, but i think its a pretty big miss on the engineering to place form over function. Should have designed all the wheels to be the same, now buyers are forced to rotate + mount balance at tire shops (needless $$$). I did enquire with Reika and you cannot purchase 5 "spares" which sucks!
There was no way to accomplish what you're asking for. It can be done with steelies, which is what we did before. Alloy wheels are a different ballgame. A universal spare is the coolest part about this super single setup.
As an owner of 2 duallies, Sprinter and F-450, there is no way to achieve what you are mentioning. Duallie owners know that theoretically you can rotate all 6, but you will always have dinged up, dingy wheels. Inside surfaces get hammered with sand/gravel, paint gets hammered, polish gets wrecked, etc. If you want nice looking wheels, they stay dedicated to front or rear, and insides stay inside, and outsides stay outside.
Sprinter 4x4. 275/70/17 or 32.2 diameter is the max size that will work with adaptive cruise control, what will happen on the 295/70/17 bigger size?
That's not necessarily true. We run 33's and even 34's on customer builds without the ACC issue. A trick I've heard some people do is to flip the ACC sensor 180.
Programming to 35 inches and beyond is available. Call Adrenaline Vans they do tire diameter reprogramming, and much more programming options are available through them.
Dude! The background music is WAY TOO LOUD!!! I really have to listen closely to the interview. Doesn't make the video enjoyable.
Sorry. Cut out the music on the next one. Thanks for the input.
Brian, truly a disappointing video. 1. for someone who knows supersingles as well as you do, I’m surprised you fail to mention that there is significant loss in GVWR with the supersingles. When I was looking at converting a 170 3500 high roof from dualie to supersingles a while back, I learned from Mercedes that the rated GVWR would have reduced by approx 1000lbs-from 11xxx to 10xxx lbs. You talk about people running these rigs at 12000lbs, which would then be about 2000 lbs over GVWR. 2. When airing down, it is not the increase in width, rather increase in length of tire footprint that makes a difference. You (should) know better. 3 Can you point to any studies that document how big brake kits improve braking effectiveness in these big rigs? Their effectiveness is proven in racing applications, but I have yet to see anything concrete wrt use in everyday driving conditions that these vans find themselves in. Thoughts?
If you do a comparison of factory super singles vs factory dually, then yes you lose GVWR. However, we are upgrading the wheel from a factory 16" steelie to a 17" allow with a load rating of 4400lbs. Moreover, the tires are E Load rated at 3970lbs each. GVWR on the rear alone exceed the rear axle rating. GVWR on all 4 further exceed the van's load rating.
BBK real world experience. Have you almost shit in your pants from rear ending the vehicle in front of you. Have you experienced brake fade after multiple steep grade mountain passes? The BBK will save your ass from plowing your 10-12K pound van into the vehicle or obstacle in front of you.

Carbon ceramic pads on stock sprinter brakes transforms the braking experience.
dude, stand up.. wth
stand up when I'm talking about the feature down low... ok sure.
*promo sm* 😑
