Eliminate the Dually Setup for 3500 Mercedes Sprinter Van with the New Super Single!

Great idea regarding the spare

[@reikawheels]

Thanks!

[@aarontsur]

questions: my 3500 RWD Dualy, came with 215x8516 I replaced them with the 235x85x16 which fit perfectly (front and rear) without modifying the wheel wells. 1. what is the largest size tire that I can fit on the rear and the front without needing to modify the wheel well? 2. I also use the original Owl Vans rear spare carrier, would your spare fit that? 3. my current rear tires are 4 x load E, would it be ok to replace them with 2 x tires of load C or E?

[@reikawheels]

Hey there! 1. Recommended tire sizes for lifted vans with our wheels would be up to 295/70R17 and for non lifted vans we recommend 275/70R17 without modifications. 2. If the current spare tire carrier supported the 6x205 bolt pattern, then there should be no issue mounting up our universal spare. 3. We have customers running 2x with an E load rating in the rear. Let us know if you have any additional questions!

Stick with the E load tires for the vans

[@brandonfriedt4728]

Hi @aarontsur, did you ever have an issue with the 235 width rubbing between the duals? I'm considering doing the same. Thanks.

[@skyfiblue]

Game changer! Any issues with gear ratios/binding?

[@reikawheels]

Thank you! We've had them tried and tested with no issues reported.

[@morevanever1311]

No issues. I've been running super singles on my 3500 for years.

[@justbkozwd]

@reikawheels when installed.. is the width the same as the dually or is it less?

[@reikawheels]

It has less overall width because its a 17x8, but the offset will push the wheel out just as far as a dually wheel and the 4400 load rating will handle the weight.

[@morevanever1311]

You're losing a little inner wheel width, but gaining a wider single tread track, with the ability to air down properly without risk of getting a rock stuck in between the rear dually tires. Also, airing down is much easier with one wheel than a dually setup.

Will these fit a 2005-2006 T1N Sprinter? What would the recommend tire size be?

[@reikawheels]

Hey there! These wheels have a 6x205 bolt pattern so unfortunately they will not fit, as I believe your van has a 5x130. We do offer the R35V 2500 wheel in that bolt pattern if you want to check it out on the site here: reikawheels.com/product/r35v-rambler-2500-2?attribute_pa_finish=satin-black&attribute_pa_size=17x8&attribute_pa_bolt-pattern=5x130&attribute_pa_wheel-offset=35

I have a Airstream 24x built on the 3500 platform. I was told there are ABS and speedometer issues when you upgrade. Do you know what we can do to make sure there are no issues with ABS and Speedo? I a trying to figure out if the AS Interstete 24x is factory lifted. Getting a bit bigger tire is good. Lastly, I want max load, and mileage and don’t need off road capabilities beyond an occasional dirt path. Looking for an aggressive highway tire vs an off road tire. Any suggestions?

[@reikawheels]

Hey there! Out of the hundreds of sets we've sold, we haven't had any of our customers report abs or speedometer issues after upgrading to the super single set. I can tell you though, that anytime tires get upgraded to 33" and above, whether it be super singles or not, your speedometer may be off by a few mph, but there are tunes for that and it usually comes down to preference of whether or not its bothersome enough to pay for the tune. As far as ABS you should have nothing to worry about. Some vans do have sensitive adaptive cruise control issue, but there is also a tune for that. It's known, but not common as far as we know. As far as tires go, the Toyo R/T Trail or BFG HD Terrain would be our recommendation for a balance of both highway and off-road capabilities. Sizing will vary dependent on if your van is lifted or not. Hope the info helped! Let us know if you have any other questions.

I want these wheels but do not want to modify the 3500 fender wells. What tires will fit and have proper load capacity without mods to the van?

[@reikawheels]

We recommend 275/70R17 tires with an E load rating if you don't want to modify or trim. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

[@Beardinc]

why not have all the wheels the same as the spare so you can rotate your tires?

[@reikawheels]

While the spare can achieve the same aesthetic as the front wheel, the inside design differs from the rear super single design. The spare was designed for functionality to get you out of a pinch. Here's a link to check out what the inside of the spare looks like and how it wouldn't match the current super single design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7PaHdqbsh1pcksi=8okXeo40cyxgvf80 If you have any other questions feel free to reach back out and we'll be happy to help.

looks like that practicality was sacrificed for great looks

[@jziran]

I love that you were able to create a universal spare (front and rear). Given the radically different wheel specs between F & R wheels I can appreciate the thought and engineering time to pull this off.

Thanks!
