Any clearance issues? What year and type sprinter? Lifted? I am thinking of LT235/85r16 hankook ipike winters on stock wheels. 2016 2500 bone stock no liftPut on the Hankook ATM 235/85/R16 . Great so far, quieter than the stock Vanco four seasons. Only a couple hundred miles so far on them. Will be heading for a trip next week so should get some various terrain miles on them.

Tires did really well on a trip that went from 75MPH freeway to Berdoo Canyon going out of Joshua Tree. Got in a bit of a tight spot in Berdoo but just required a different steering direction to pop out.Put on the Hankook ATM 235/85/R16 . Great so far, quieter than the stock Vanco four seasons.

None. Plenty of room on bone stock alloys 2500.Any clearance issues? What year and type sprinter? Lifted? I am thinking of LT235/85r16 hankook ipike winters on stock wheels. 2016 2500 bone stock no lift
I actually just ended up ordering that same set of wheels for my 2017 4x4 Crew Van to use as my winter set and have been similarly having some difficult sourcing the proper spec lug bolts.In case anybody prefers the standard width using these wheels I can confirm the proper bolts are: R14 ball seat - 14 x 1.5 - 45mm shank.
EDIT - I just re-read your post and realized you were asking about tire diameters, not wheel diameters. You can go on up to a 33" tire with no clearance issues as long as you go no wider than a 265. I'll leave my below comments on 17's vs 16's.Just looking for input on sticking with stock diameters using 17in wheels vs a LT265/70r17. As I type this I'm thinking maybe 245's for the winter wheels and 265's for the off season. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

I believe you (kinda). I stuck with a conservative number since I didn't get into offsets and other factors. I put my van into situations offroad that most don't so my standard for "no rubbing" might be a bit different than for others.i mean
You are wrong, but i wont tell you that
I have a 285-75-16 on my 17 and ZERO rubbing
Hey Neighbour!The focus for my build is as much on building a rolling ski accommodation as for a summer touring van. Up here the winter wheels are on for 50% of the year, don't want ugly steelies for that long. Might go with Methods for summer and Moto Metals for winter. figure if I cross border shop using my Scottish heritage, skirt sales tax at the border (wife will have to use her exemptions on van stuff, not wine), Pirate ideas from the Internet, and DIY my build, I'll be happy with the outcome and still have good value. If I sell the stock wheels and tires I shouldn't be out too much.
That's the tire I want to use as well. Did you mount them on the stock 6.5" rims, do they fit? Any pics?After extensive testing, we choose the Falken Wildpeak in 265/75 16 ( keeping in mind that in Quebec we are not able to legally run over size tires )
Why not use the stockers for Winter wear, and get the custom wheels for fun and games?Factory order not due until May/June. Ordered without factory aluminum wheels. Will likely go with 17in. Methods or Moto metal 0970's in black. Have read the entire thread and have a question for the collective wisdom. Notice very little inclination for folks to stay with factory diameters / widths when upsizing the wheels. From tire size calculators it appears that LT 245/70r 17 is the straight across conversion for the stock LT 245/75r16 yet very few opt that way in here. A little wider might be nice but when I plug 265 into the calculator the overall diameter goes up as well, throwing the calibrations off. I'm going with both dedicated winters and a set of AT's and will sell the stock wheels and tires. Just looking for input on sticking with stock diameters using 17in wheels vs a LT265/70r17. As I type this I'm thinking maybe 245's for the winter wheels and 265's for the off season. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks
If you know the weights front and rear, you can go to page 22 for a chart to give you a starting place.Any recommendations on tire pressure? I am running the BFG Ko2 /moto metal rim 245/70R/17.
Thanks
That is incorrect.If you know the weights front and rear, you can go to page 22 for a chart to give you a starting place.

Those are E load tires. In that size you should do well with my above recommendations. K02s run well at slightly lower pressures than their AT brethren as they have VERY stiff sidewalls. You may do ok 5psi below my recommendations.Any recommendations on tire pressure? I am running the BFG Ko2 /moto metal rim 245/70R/17.
