Description
Advantages of a Tire Carrier for your Sprinter campervan
There are several reasons to consider a tire carrier for your Mercedes Sprinter 2018+ campervan. One of the main reasons is upgrading to larger tires. The factory space for the spare tire underneath the van may not accommodate a bigger wheel, so you'll need an alternative location.
Additionally, moving the spare tire frees up valuable space under the van for water tanks or auxiliary fuel tanks. In off-road situations or difficult terrain, accessing a spare tire mounted underneath can be challenging. Having it on a tire carrier makes it far more accessible when you need it most.
Sequoia Tire Carrier installation requirements
270-degree doors: You will need to replace the 270-degree hinges with 180-degree hinges. The tire carrier is attached to the hinges and connected to the door.
180-degree doors: The tire carrier is attached to the hinges and connected to the door.
We also offer wheel bolts. For OEM 16” steel rims, we offer steel wheel bolts with a rounded contact surface. Most aftermarket alloy wheels, however, typically require 60-degree conical bolts (M14x1.5), which you can also select.
Big wheels may require extra spacers, but for most tire/rim combinations, they aren't necessary. Spacers are typically only needed when you're using a high ET rim, like an ET 62, combined with a large tire, or when the wheel diameter is 33” or larger. Contact us if you need advice on spacers for your tire carrier.
