Second Spare Tire

[AlaskaD@ve]

I'm looking to buy and mount a second spare tire for a trip up the Dalton Highway (aka the haul road) to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I would like to match the wheel/tire combo exactly and go into a 6-tire rotation. Can anyone tell me the offset for the 6.5 x 16 steel wheel?

I believe the offset is stamped on the steelies
Located behind the plastic dog dish center cap

Hey Dave, I'm commenting mainly out of curiosity because NCV 3500 vans have always came with 5.5" x 16" wheels. Do you know if the new VS30 has 6.5" wide wheels or did you possibly see that size on a 2500 van? Thanks!

Ebay is where you can buy a spare steel wheel.

TooMuchHair,
Nothing has changed with regard to the 3XX series (2500 USA) Sprinter OEM Steel Wheels.......still 6.5Jx16 and I believe the offset is 54 mm
(It's stamped on the wheel).
The 4xx-5xx Series (3500-4500 USA) still use the 5.5J16 wheels with the large diameter 161.2mm mounting center hole which require the
Haweka or Hunter Wheel balancing mandrel/adapter.

When I did the Dempster I found a spare rim and a slightly used tire at a Tire Shop that I have used over the years.
It was for a Jeep but might be worth calling around. It did get used as we had 1 flat with a big hole that could not be sealed with a tire plug.
