Still, 16's will fit no probs ... I've yet to see 17's on a Sprinter however I believe this will infringe the additional 2 inch increase you're allowed over the stock factory wheels? Sprinters only came out with 14's in the first place.

Well I have to disagree and clarify a few things said here Daryl. First and foremost there is no limit to the increase in the diameter of your rims (the entire wheel yes, not the rim). You can un any size rim and tire in terms of diameter as long as you do not exceed the factory diameter by more than 15 mm

Thus you could have 17s on your car and with 45s (based on a 205\45) you would be 6.6mm bigger than the factory 13s in overall diameter - legal as!!

There are restrictions on width increases according to weight, see link.

I personally run 17s on my sprinter, the gaurds have not been rolled nor does ANY scraping occur. This is all to do with the correct offset being used for the wheel. No spacers needed.

If this is rice so be it. But <16s don't clear my calipers.... Very Happy
