Yeah, wheel wells are smaller.
You are correct. The 2019+ fender wells shrank from the previous generation. The 255/85/16 Coopers are almost 33” in diameter (32.8”). The RIP kit uses 1/2” wheel spacers to provide clearance for the coil over springs. The change in offset due to the spacers reduces the acceptable tire diameter further. Agile specifies the maximum recommend tire size on their website. I believe it is about 32” in diameter. 4x4 Sprinters built prior to 2019 can accept a 33” tire with room for medium duty snow chains. Some claim they have gone with larger diameters on their 2019+ but not without rubbing.Yes, either the agile or van compass kit for trimming is what I'm referencing. The plan is to put the RIP kit from agile (the lift) in at a later date. Did the body style change that much from the 19 to the 20 that the 255/85/16s will no longer fit?
thanks. Looking like I'm going to have to downsize anyway. Was unaware that the automated cruise control (Distronic) doesn't play nice with anything over 32 inches. Huge bummer cuz I love my 33in Cooper st maxxs. Is it possible to just not use the distronic? Or is it just always on?You are correct. The 2019+ fender wells shrank from the previous generation.
