2.7 Tire Envelope Clearance
2.7.1 Snow Tires
Following any modification to the Sprinter body, Body
Builder must ensure that only tires of the size approved for
the Sprinter are installed. Allow at least tire envelope
clearance, taking into consideration snow tires, anti-skid
chains, as well as potential frame distortion.
Observe all specifications in the offer drawings!
2.7.2 Clearance for 2ND Body and
Cab
Adequate clearance between the 2ND body and cab
(minimum 50 mm, approx. 2 inch) must be maintained to
ensure the safe operation of the Sprinter. Additional
information can be obtained from DCMC and DCV’s
designee, DaimlerChrysler Manufacturing International
LLC.
2.8 Chain Clearance (Rear Axle)
For Cargo and Passenger Van:
Do not reduce the size of the wheel housing of the vehicle.
Such reduction will impair the tire envelope clearance and
movement of the tires and impair the use of chains.
For Cab Chassis:
Observe all specifications in the offer drawings!
Mounting tires, which are not approved by DCAG,
for the Sprinter, that do not leave sufficient tire
envelope clearance significantly impairs the
vehicle’s driving and braking characteristics and
may ultimately lead to an accident, which can result
in serious injury or death!
