wheel swap by signet

i have a '04 hi top 3500 sprinter with the dinky 15" wheels..i have seen and measured the bolt pattern of the '07 sprinter 3500 and they seen to be the same. has anyone tried to install the 16" wheels on a older 3500?? the larger wheels would make a smoother ride and you could use a stronger tire for loads..and it would be cheeper than the 15's.
80k on my '04 and am tickled to death with it..don't seem to get as good a milage as some i have read about here ( 18/20) though i haul around a complete plumbing service business in it. the fuel savings have made about half the payment on the new truck over the "B" van i used to drive!!

I switched to 16" alloy wheels and LT225/75 R16 Michelins on my 2006 118" 2500 passenger Sprinter, and the only problem was slight rubbing on the front mud flaps when turning. After a few miles the tires and flaps wore to the point of no more rubbing.
But I don't know if the 2007 wheels are different.
I believe this topic has been discussed on this forum before--you might try doing a search. And here is the Yahoo forum on this: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/sprintervan/message/26246
If you click on Photos on the left side of the page I think you'll see a 118" 2500 that was fitted with the larger alloy wheels.
You'll have to register with Yahoo, and you might do a search there also.
I really like the 16" wheels on my van--it rides great, cruises quieter, and I get around 26 mpg.
Good luck,
KenBob

I have a 2006 2500 and i have had a problem with the abs the tire symbol and one other light.My brake pedal drops suddenly when it happens.The last trip to the dealer they called Dodge corporate and they had the tech run another wire to the computer? It worked for awhile but it is doing it again.
The problem seems to be temperture related as this only happens during the summer months.
I am going back to the dealer soon for another try.It will be the sixth trip for the same problem

I have a 2500 2005 , had the same trouble...I use hand controls to drive with and I did not lubricate them and they were making my brake pedal actuate the brake light switch , not all the time... Maybe that brake switch was sending some data to the computer and caused the lights to come on...I lubed and freed up my hand controls i.e freed up the brake pedal and the brake light switch and all is good... I lived with them lights for 6 months... What a relief... By the way, anyone reading this , What is [ limp mode ] people talk about it on some of the forums..Hope this helps...

Hey all, my 2005 3500 sprinter's engine control indicator lamp came on. What does it mean? What can I do to get it off?
 
I had this issue last year and did some little thing to get it to go off but I can not recall what it was.

found out my "wheel" light was a blown fuse for the brakelights..none of them worked inc. the one on the top. only way i found out was my son was following me and called me and said all my brake lights were out..when i found and replaced the fuse, all the other things started to work ( cruise and braking systems )..so the b lights and the "wheel" light must be tied together!! i was just getting ready to take to the dealer!! guess i saved me some $$$$'s

un do the neg. cable of the battery and let it set for a few minutes..reconnect and turn on key, it should go out..if it comes back on later, you have a definate problem and may have to have it checked!! hope that helps.
