Not only do I learn something, it’s also great conversation and story telling. Wish I could post a picture of my van with the Talon wheels. Sweet products

[@wayneschirmeriii6487]

Looks good! I’ve been wanting to install 35s on our 2022 Revel but waiting for a cruise control fix as well! Hurry up! Haha

[@SonofDarnell]

John you already know all of us want the 35s!

[@PlasticRevolver69]

Wow 35’s look proper! 🦉

[@DeanoKelley]

Nice looking Bronze wheels. My son wants those on his Element (not 35s of course...) Love the look of the Sprinter. Great video.

[@JaYoeNation]

Love the hat!

[@matthewmorris7507]

Great instruction and attention to detail. Love it!

[@applebitefool]

Thats a small narrow 34 but its perfect for a sprinter.

[@blackmarketbarber]

So sick

[@johngrant1337]

Look outstanding

[@stephenkramme7063]

Very good instructional video as usual. Several questions: What brand of jack and jack stands are you using, or what do you recommend? Really good looking wheels! The valve stems appear to be recessed making them less of a target for off roading. One of the "valve stems" appears to have a cap retention strap. Is this aftermarket or something unique to you wheels. Thank you.

[@davekent20]

All I have to say is SWEEEEEEEET

[@CannedNirvana]

Great tutorial video, as always! What brand/model tires did you use? What was the metric size of the tires?

[@JaYoeNation]

Bad arse. :)

[@gearforexperiences]

Cool video again! Do you have a VC Stryker 2" body lift on this van? I couldn’t see the actual size at the end. Based on comment below it seems they are 285/75-17 which are actually a little less than 34". Have you guys tried true 35x12.5 or 315/70-17 with ACC update? Thanks

[@owloffroad]

Yes you are correct. We did the video because 35's are as big as you can go and the process is the same. Yes it works.

[@gearforexperiences]

@@owloffroad Thanks! Do you have the Stryker 2" body lift from Van Compass? It comes with stage 6.

[@owloffroad]

@@gearforexperiences Yes, this van has the 6.3 VC system

[@gearforexperiences]

@@owloffroad thanks! I’m trying to figure out how much cutting for 35x12.5 with vans without Stryker 2" body lift. I have AO RIP kit and planning on going bigger soon. 👍

[@brentmccord9821]

I'm assuming that sweet poke is without spacers? Wheels look great!!

[@manny-perez]

The wheels are beautiful, but I sure hope you have them in black, gold really?

[@owloffroad]

We have them in Black, Gunmetal and Bronze. Bronze is actually the hottest color at the moment.

[@tztz1949]

Do I need to trim the body on a 2017 lifted sprinter for 35s? And is there an approach fix for the adaptive cruise issue? Great video

[@owloffroad]

Here are the options: - For a lifted Sprinter 2017 -305/70/16 * 14mm wheel spacer for front strut and tire clearance - 295/75/16 * 14mm wheel spacer for front strut and tire clearance - 315/75/16 * 14mm spacer, front mudflap removed, pinch seam trimmed and front bumper plastic must be trimmed. - 295/70/17 * 14mm wheel spacer for front strut and tire clearance - 305/70/17 * 14mm spacer, with aftermarket wheels in the 7.5 to 8” wide range - 285/75/17 * Will require minor fender trimming, 14mm spacer on some tire types - 315/70/17 * 14mm spacer, front mudflap removed, pinch seam trimmed and front bumper plastic must be trimmed. - 35/10.5/17 * Front mudflap removed, pinch seam trimmed and front bumper plastic must be trimmed. - 35/12.5.17 * 14mm spacer, front mudflap removed, pinch seam trimmed and front bumper plastic must be trimmed.

[@tztz1949]

@@owloffroad thanks much. Does this model need the ECU upgrade for the larger wheels? And if so where is the cutoff in size that doesn't need the upgrade?

[@owloffroad]

@@tztz1949 All VS30 vans will need the tire size module for anything above 32" tires

[@tztz1949]

@@owloffroad is this true for the NCV3 Sprinter regarding the cruise control computer upgrade for tires larger than 32"?

[@owloffroad]

I don’t believe this is an issue with the NCV3 but we cannot be 100%

[@stonecrestbmd]

Watching this guy run a grinder makes me cringe like.. "that guy" with a chain saw..lolol!

[@electricalfive2248]

yeah, looks like he's only used it a few times. the angle grinder is my favorite tool, cringed when he kept putting the blade in line with his face. It's easier and a better cut if you're looking at an angle, but i guess it just takes time to learn these things.

[@larryheiny5287]

ETA on the kits and the Computer fix? I'm holding off on buying new tires until you are ready! Otherwise I might end up going w 285's...(also, when are you opening your shop here in Phoenix/Scottsdale? It's time :) )

[@miriambetancortriverol5402]

Si la Iveco daily 4x4 saludos de Canary islands

[@dustinteske5011]

Rad! So what's the required offset in the front to clear the strut/ coil over for 35s?

[@patrick35400]

Thanks for sharing! as you talk about safety, better to fix the protector before the disk on the grinder, many face accidends appear when the disk brokes. ' for foot, "" for inch (API). Subscribe & thumb, kind regards from Britanny.

[@jamesmacfadyen92]

Those holes you drilled will rust in mich.in couple of years.

[@ericrambo403]

Is the van lifted other than the added leaf? The Van Compass website indicated the need for a 2" lift to fit 35s. Looks great!

[@johnwillenborg]

Yes, this van has a Van Compass 6.3

[@gerryv6]

Is the bronze wheels has the correct offset to fit 6 pot calipers in 17"? Also, why is the tuner does not correct the speedo? Does it flash the ecm or its just a piggy back and has to be connected at all times to work?

[@owloffroad]

The offset helps with clearance but we cannot guarantee fitment with aftermarket brakes. We are working on correcting the speedo as well, but with all things Mercedes, it is complicated to accomplish

[@brainbreen118]

Where can I get the rear blown out windows?? Thanks

[@joemamamia1751]

Thanks for the vid! Those wheels look SO NICE!!! --Kudo’s on not making them blue. 😜 Question, did you keep the spacers on, or is this the stance without them? -Thanks!

[@owloffroad]

I still have the spacers on but ouw wheels have the larges offset of any Sprinter wheel we are aware of at the moment. Therefore the stock Owl Talon wheel will be roughly the same offset as a Black Rhino Arsenal with 20mm spacers.

[@mozart5971]

Have you tried RENNTECH's Wheel Circumference Module to see if you can use adaptive cruise when mounting 35" tires?

[@marco3392]

this seems like an important question!

[@chadgoyette33]

Are the wheel spacers still being utilized with the new owl wheels at the end of this video?

[@owloffroad]

We used them on our demo van but only because we wanted to clear some massive brakes

[@davidnjoroge8495]

hey great video,what's the tire size and rim size and tire width,profile?

[@johnwillenborg]

285 75/17 rim is 17x8”

[@wideglide6723]

What rear leaf springs are on your van. I’m curious about you opinion of van compas vs agile replace springs for STO Classic non lifted van. 5380 lbs rear axel when loaded for travel.

[@owloffroad]

We use the Van Compass additional spring pack. We have found it works fantastically and there isn't a need for the expesnce of a full replacement

[@AdventuringVanMan]

Hi Jon. Really informative video. Thanks for documenting the process in so much detail. Can I ask what width tyres you've fitted though? Are they the 35/10.5s or 35/12.5s? Thanks!

[@owloffroad]

285/75 r17

[@richardcarmona2271]

@@owloffroad Not to split hairs, but 285/75 r17 are 34s, not 35s, correct?

[@owloffroad]

Yes, you’re correct. That said it’s the same process for 35”s so that’s what we wanted to show

[@mikep4811]

Which do you recommend and why? Revel or terrain? Also do you make a passenger seat/bed platform for the terrain? Thanks

[@owloffroad]

We love the Revel. Its a very solid van. Storyteller is also a great van but you have about a 2 year lead time.

[@rockyreynolds4027]

Is there a cargo van made from the factory with 4x4 anymore

[@owloffroad]

They are moving to the AWD so you would have to find one at a dealership currently. They are hard to find these days. Happy hunting.

[@yayasdt2738]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@thechappie]

Can the adaptive cruise be disable to converted to regular cruise control? I’m sure its not that simple but curious as I want to this for my future build.

[@owloffroad]

It cannot. If youre ordering I suggest regular cruise

[@thechappie]

@@owloffroad I wish… it’s Revel or Terrain for me… 😖

[@OffRoadLocos]

need to update tire size in the computer system?

[@owloffroad]

Yes but unfortunately it isn’t that simple. Many factors

[@JJ26PNW]

What’s the offset on the new wheels?

[@brettatkinson]

I second this! Whats the offset?

[@vinceandvango]

Can we preorder the wheels?

We are going to open wheel orders in about 3 weeks
