- 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.

Great Video! I’ll be following these steps for my 2019. Definitely grabbing some Owl Wheels like these!!
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...
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.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. Just thermo-mold it
Much easier to go with Mondo mudguards from Terrawagen, no cutting and you don't need to remove the wheels. Overall just easier.
Thanks John, very helpful demo.
YHX FROM TURKIYE 👌👍
21:30 Dog: Is he talking with me?
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.
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.
I wish you could have spent that money with us too ;) Thanks for the kind words
Does this work for 2wd?
Awesome video, thank you!
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 .
255/70
Good stuff. Except to is incorrect to use an abrasive cutoff wheel on plastic or aluminum. Bandsaw is the way to go.
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?
You mention possibly upgrading to 35’s in the future, does that mean you are willing to lose the electronic capabilities or is there an electronic adapting kit? 💁🏻♀️
I would love to know the answer for this
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.
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👌
How to make a six-wheeled Mercedes Sprinter long wheelbase?
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.
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. 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 ???
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.
Are you saying that a Toyo Open Country 275/70-18' on 18"/+55 offset Black Rhino's will fit a 2014? Lol. I know I will probably have to mod the mudflaps.
How to recalibrate speedmeter for bigger tire?
After cutting away what about possible wheel cutting from bouncing?
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?
Depending on the size of the tire, I believe the MB dealer can update the software.
Good afternoon. I wanted to know if it is possible to install a second tank under the Sprinter
Fuel tank? We have an extended range tank. Much better than two tanks and a transfer pump. owlvans.com/products/sprinter-long-range-fuel-tank-47-gal?_pos=1&_sid=361089e00&_ss=r
Would some 17x8 wheels with an offset of 40 fit a sprinter 170? Thanks
Great video. Did you ever cut the rear wheel fender flare?
Never got around to it!
Is the cutting necessary just to run 275’s on a 2020? How big can we go without any cutting?

Depends on 4x4 or 2wd but 4x4 is 265 as the largest without cutting
@@owloffroad 2wd 170. Would wheel spacers help?
@@michelecrafton Take a look at the chart I linked to. It has all the info you need
Those tires will fit on a regular sprinter or have to be all well drive sprinter?
Scroll down to the bottom of the FAQ and you can see what fits what chassis
owlvans.com/pages/faq
you need leave enough space for mud clearance.
What kind of socket torx set are you using?
How high is this van lifted? Factory lift on mine is 4.25" and the stock wheels/tires look miniature. We don't plan on too much off-roading but it will see a lot of winters in the mountains. Wondering how to best fill the extra space?
Max tire size you can go on a new Spritner is 275/70 R17 because of the onboard computers
@@owloffroad Thanks... How high is the van lifted that's in the video?
@@jeffwolf2004 This van has the Van Compass 6.3 which is a 2" lift over the stock 4x4
How do I get those wheels?
Ocean Science we sell Black Rhino wheels. Email john@owlvans.com
размер скатов, как весландия можете сделать и показать видео
Did you relocate the exhaust from behind passenger side step?
John-Paul Stevens yes, we have a stainless exhaust coming out soon
I planing to get 2020 Sprinter next year.MB 170 ext 4x4. Could i fit winter tires 285/75R16 on New Sprinter?tx
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.
Did you have to add wheel spacers to this setup?
Fireline Tactical no need for wheel spacers
Will a 265/70 17 Black Rhino Warlord fit without mudflap/fender mods? I'm hoping the 52 spacing on these works
Depends on the year of the van. vancompass.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions
Owl Vans Engineering it’s a 2019.
4x4
McKinley Thompson follow the link. It has the fitment chart
Owl Vans Engineering thanks, on order. Do you know if my 2019 4x4 sprinter has the correct hinge for your ladder/tire carrier and box on there side?
Thanks
is this wheel 245/70/17?
This tire is a 265/75 17 I believe
@@owloffroad huge
Could a
Quick video: 27 minutes LOL
I love how it looks but everybody knows that Sprinter is a piece of junk the engine is just garbage but it does look good and I own two Mercedes Sprinter worst thing ever
Lol what you're talking about? Sprinter is the best of its class.
