That's a lot of faith in a scissor jack. Invest in some cheap jack stands if you're going to be getting under the van, especially if you might need to do it on something other than asphalt in the future. At the least what you can do is shove the removed tire under the frame so it provides something to take some of the weight if/when the scissor jack folds or shifts.
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!!!! Still working on my PROMASTER conversion but tires are on my mind. Thanks for showing in detail how you cut the wheelwells and re-shaped the plastic trim, I even have a grinder!! You will never how much info I got from your video. Y'all did great for CZcams 1st timers. Keep'm comin'! …. Subscribed! …. I'm 61, female and doing my van conversion by myself. CZcams is my sole Van Conversion Manual!!! :D Be safe out there!
I’m so glad! Thats why I made this video. I couldn’t find any how to’s but lots of talk about it via forums and etc. Let me know how it goes! We have not had any rubbing since that day BTW. 👍👍
We are getting a new Promaster and planning on a 245-75 Michelin Agilis tire. If I have to create clearance then will get out the angle grinder. But I will have our van on jack stands. Safety First!
UPDATE: Turns out you can get size 225/75/16 Ko2s but the weight/load rating is less. Which wasn’t recommended for the 3500 ext. model. So, your decision should be based on weight. It depends on which model Promaster you have and if you plan on towing.
They've always had the 225 but the 245s fill the big wheel well and also look better. I'm going 245s. Everyone talks about it but no one had posted a video yet, so thanks.
@@MrSharkphoto . Yeah that is exactly why we made it our first video. We couldn't find ANYTHING video wise on how to do it... just word of mouth on How-tos. It was surprisingly easier than we initially thought. Good Luck 🍀, and let us know how it goes 😃.
Thank you for answering so many questions on Jarrods live feed, glad to be a new subscriber...huge fan of your setup and build already. You guys are a great team and make great video (editing is on point) Like the body work, looking forward to the van build and tour videos. Have an excellent night.
Heck yeah! It was fun, Jarrod is the man. We can’t wait to show our van off tomorrow. Stay tuned for the video and feel free to ask any questions about anything. 😬
(Lindsey) Thank you so much for the praise!! Danny is the guru of the build... I would like to say that I had a hand in it but it was all him and his beautiful mind. I am starting to find my niche with editing. Its fun but super challenging... Thanks for subscribing and our new video should be out this week. I am finishing the final touches.
Oh, thanks for mentioning it. We had a great time at the event. It was our 1st festival ever. We plan on doing more festivals because of how much fun it was and how many amazing people we met.
Redoing my 1997 GMC 1500 Savana high top. Having the suspension upgraded, wont lift the van too much. Then I want to swap out the stock 15” rims and LT235/75R15 tires to a slightly larger set up, probably starting with a 16” rim. There is a lot that can be done wrong and I don’t want to create a whole new set of driving problems so the right advice is needed before I wished I never took on the change!!! Had this van for 12 years, after shopping the used van market over the last year, I’ve decided that my old friend is worthy some upgrades. Maybe in another 5 years the market will be more attractive. Old vans that are customized can rock, I may never get another van after the mods there is something about a 5.7 V8 with a performance dual exhaust!!!!
thank you 🙏. Honestly I can’t remember. there was a little tire noise at high speeds, the speedometer is off by about 3mph, and I’m assuming 1-2 mpg less. 1 thing to keep in mind if going with the larger size is can snow chains still fit? I haven’t needed them so haven’t went down that rabbit hole yet. Let me know if you find out anything regarding that. 🤘 -Danny
I think bending it in with one good whack with a sledge 20 lb hammer would be better than cutting metal and exposing the bare metal. One whack and retain all the original paint. just bent in a little.
Nicely done! Also, it appears I'm getting into your channel from the start. So, I'm happy to keep an eye on your content. I'm considering a van, maybe even a ProMaster. I'm leaning toward a manufactured Class B, but I'm still eager to watch your build. Keep up the good work! -Scott
Thanks Scott, we looked at class B’a too. Actually, we looked at everything from a teardrop to a 35” RV. We ended up building our own for a couple reasons. Firstly, it’s significantly cheaper and I had some basic handyman skill (but was terrified to say the least). Secondly, I didn’t see any class B layouts I liked. I didn’t get to see that many though. We pretty much dove right in and we are glad we did. It came out perfectly.
Congrats on your first video!!! I love the sound effects, the mods on your van, and your editing! Your tires are rad too! I had Michelin tires on our van, but if we get a Class C, I'm going to look into the BF Goodrich brand. My daughters saw that I was watching yal video and my oldest (6yr old) said "Mom look! They are fixing their vanlife!" 😂
Thanks for the kind words. I was very impressed with Lindsey’s new editing skills. She has never done anything like it before and killed it. I think it can only get better from here. Keep your eyes peeled for our next one coming out in the next couple days! Did you subscribe?
Hello again. Another inquiry about your larger tires. By chance did your TPMS indicator light on the dash remain on after installing the larger tires (Tire pressure ) Finally decided to replace my original tires with the same BFG AT 245/75/16 as you guys did. Having a bolt puncture in one tire did motivate me. :) How did you reset the TPMS?
I did have the light on but it went away with adding pressure to some of the tires. I’m not sure what I have them at though. I bet, that sounds like a heck of a motivator. How are you liking the tires?
Hi Lindsey and Danny I’m here after seeing on on Jarrod’s channel. Congrats on your first video but what’s even more AWESOME is that your content on this video was showing something (a how-to) that isn’t already on YT!! Safe travels
Thanks for coming over and watching. We appreciate you and what you are saying. Share our channel with your friends, lots of new vids are coming soon! Get excited!
OHV is the company we bought the lift from and we had a dodge dealer install it. Then we took it to Cade at The Wheel Specialists in Tempe , Az so he could work his magic and get the biggest wheel tire combo to fit. We went with a load range E BFG KO 2 LT265/65/18 but trimming is needed in the wheel wells. It would be cool if someone made a fender flare kit then possibilities would be endless.
Only 1 problem we just noticed when you slide the door open about the last couple inches I thought the track was dirty or something cause it had minor resistance......nope, it barely rubbed the back tire 🤦♂️
Good to hear. The tire company told me there wasn’t one. I later found out from great people like yourself that there is a 22/75/r16, but that the load rating was different (less than what’s recommended) or something like that.
Thank you for the video. I always wanted to see how it is done. I wonder if there is any rubbing from the front tires when you turn the steering wheel all the way?
Yeah, not the smartest, you learn something new every day. The Jack is rated for it even built out, but still could fail. That’s what I’ve learned from folks like yourself, thanks 🙏.
@@LindseyandDannyVanlife I would like to add, that you CAN get the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire LT225/75R16/E 115/112S now. We just ordered ours from Walmart for our Promaster 2500 136". Can't wait to get those on our Ultra Wheels Toil 450 rims.
I wonder if you get a smaller wheel can solve this not sure the size of your wheel to cut into metal just for changing tire not sure that will be a good solution.
What has your experience been like finding places to park in such a long vehicle? Looking at a Transit extended length, but it is almost 22 feet. The standard 148 is 19'7.5". That's a 2'4.4" difference which might be a big deal and more limiting when trying to find adequate parking.
I (Lindsey... the less skilled at parking) have not found it too difficult to find parking. We always allot additional time for parking because sometimes it just takes a minute to find that glory spot, but we have never been deterred away because we just didn't fit. The biggest trick for us (being the extended.. so our extra length is in the back behinds the back tires) is to back up into spots. Our rear generally hangs over into a grass patch or a walking path, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do. Mind you this is for both urban and nature. We are city bound 3 days out of the week.
Parking down here near Torrence hasn’t been bad at all. The only time it was bad was trying to get a meter at the beach one time. There were mostly smaller spaces available, but we finally found something farther away.
Congratulations 👏🏾 On starting your CZcams it takes alot of courage 👏🏾 that’s why I didn’t start mine yet Looking forward to see more videos 😁 one question did it solve the problem any more rubbing ? did you have to do more work and is it going to be a future problem when you add more weight ???
so the guy that had his lifted from ohv said with the 3.5" lift the 245/75 was fine and you said you already had a inch after the mod maybe a little more. So if you did a 3.5" and this trimming, maybe a little from the back do you think you could go even bigger? We just lifted our company promaster 3.5" and I am at the tire stage....
It’s definitely a possibility with the life. I will go bigger if I get a lift. Let me know if you know of any good lifts. Your saying you have had OHV lift yours or is that the suspension company?
Oscar Garcia No we did not. The wheel well in the front is significantly larger. Not only are the front tires not rubbing, but our turn radius was not compromised. We are thrilled with the results. 🙌🏼
Wonderful video and very informative. I have a few question as I am considering the same tires for my Promaster. Does the van do good in snow? Does it ride the same on the highway and did you get a big increase in sound? Thanks and safe travels!
Sorry for the delayed response over the holidays. Thanks, we are super glad you liked it. as far as the tires go, we haven’t tried them in the snow, but our friend Matt has on his and he said they are bad ass. He hasn’t needed chains and he is working at Mammoth Ski resort on the daily. There is hardly any road noise 2/10 on HWay and no change in the way it drives. 🤘 I hope that helps. Danny
Well the size I used is larger than stock and I needed to alter the wheel well. So, I would say the size I got, but maybe another size up if the van had a lift kit.
Those tires do look mean. Since it's your home it's crazy not to get the most kick ass tires. With front wheel drive and those tires I bet you can get most anywhere a 4 wheel drive truck can go with regular street tires. Is there anywhere in the van that you can store more tools? I don't think I'd leave without an angle grinder,drill and sawzall (cordless) The best part is you left it all stock outside. It wouldn't get a second look by cops and bad guys.
We have noticed it is way better on steep gravel roads and deep loose dirt. We haven’t tried snow yet, and we can’t wait! I do have some essential tools in the back and room for more if needed. You think it’s stealthy? It’s hard for me to tell anymore.
@@LindseyandDannyVanlife Absolutely, how much more stealth can you get. Stay with stock rims. Maybe a hardhat ,clip pad and one of your two walkies visible in the cab area. Soon as you put the stick family stickers of Mom and Dad with two cats on the back window you blow your cover. You really did an amazing job and both have the personalities to live free. My sister in law was a traveling nurse. She found her bliss in Colorado from NJ and never looked back
I think you are already a natural with the hard hat and clip board idea 💡. Oh she got hooked on Colorado? We have done Colorado for 6 months in the past and loved it. We may have to go back.
Update: this fix is legit and has worked flawlessly since day 1. Still no rubbing, just smiles 😃.
This still working for y'all!? You made it look easy!
@@zachmurri sure is, absolutely no problems whatsoever. Honestly it was easy, I was surprised. You you gonna do the same thing?
That's a lot of faith in a scissor jack. Invest in some cheap jack stands if you're going to be getting under the van, especially if you might need to do it on something other than asphalt in the future. At the least what you can do is shove the removed tire under the frame so it provides something to take some of the weight if/when the scissor jack folds or shifts.
Thanks for the tips. I’m an RN not a certified auto worker. So, I love getting advice and feedback.

Well, good luck and thanks for the comment. It shouldn’t cost too much. It was easy.
The 245 will also serve you better off road I would think. Easier to get over rough terrain with the larger tires and tiny bit extra clearance

Congrats on the new channel. I am currently looking for a tire for our Promaster 3500 ext length...how did the tires affect the gas mileage...
thank you 🙏.
Honestly I can’t remember. there was a little tire noise at high speeds, the speedometer is off by about 3mph, and I’m assuming 1-2 mpg less. 1 thing to keep in mind if going with the larger size is can snow chains still fit?

Great job, Danny!
Woot woot
Hrmmm. The MPG must have taken quite a hit with heavier tires and tires with greater wind frontage?
I think bending it in with one good whack with a sledge 20 lb hammer would be better than cutting metal and exposing the bare metal. One whack and retain all the original paint. just bent in a little.
Maybe, worked for me and no rust from the way I’ve don’t it after 3 years.

same van and same tires...we had rub until we did a 3.5" lift and added sumo springs. Drives amazeballs now.
I’m glad it worked out for you, we want to lift ours as well, 3.5” sounds awesome!
Lindsey and Danny Vanlife check out OHV in Utah. They did my build.
Will do thanks.

Cheer and safe travels. Thanks for the love.
Saw you on Jarrod’s channel. Can’t wait to see your van build series.
Heck yeah Lee! 🤘we are excited to get them out.
Did you have any problems with the front tires?
Never :-)
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, I appreciate you.

Only 1 problem we just noticed when you slide the door open about the last couple inches I thought the track was dirty or something cause it had minor resistance......nope, it barely rubbed the back tire 🤦♂️
FYI: BFG does sell a 225/75-R16... no rubbing. Great van.. and tires though!
Good to hear. The tire company told me there wasn’t one. I later found out from great people like yourself that there is a 22/75/r16, but that the load rating was different (less than what’s recommended) or something like that.
Thanks for the tutorial, is this cutting into the frame and will it jeopardize integrity?
It wasn’t actually the frame, it appeared to be an additional lip of metal that played no part in the integrity. 🤷♂️
Thank you for the video. I always wanted to see how it is done.
I wonder if there is any rubbing from the front tires when you turn the steering wheel all the way?
No rubbing at all when turning. Only a couple slight runs when doing some crazy off-road stuff. 🤘
What pressure are you running those bfg's at ? Just had mine fitted, cheers for the info!
I don’t even know off the top of my head.
Great video as I’m about to purchase some KO’s for my new PM.
They are a great choice. We still love them.
Watching you sit under a fully built-out van that was jacked up with only a scissor jack and no stands was a bit nerve-racking.
Yeah, not the smartest, you learn something new every day. The Jack is rated for it even built out, but still could fail. That’s what I’ve learned from folks like yourself, thanks 🙏.
All you had to do was get the tire with a shorter sidewall.
Aka shorter series Tire...
Thanks, not a bad idea. I wanted as much surface area as possible to increase traction.
-Danny
Your thinking of the Falken Wildpeak AT3W.
Yup, that’s it. Those seem legit too.
@@LindseyandDannyVanlife I would like to add, that you CAN get the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire LT225/75R16/E 115/112S now. We just ordered ours from Walmart for our Promaster 2500 136". Can't wait to get those on our Ultra Wheels Toil 450 rims.
Sounds great, We hope it went well. Where can we see a pic?!
Where is the best place to shop for the KO’s? Car Dealers have a tendency to jack up their prices.
I went to Les Schwab
I'm bummed you didn't show a photo of the complete van.
What were you thinking I should of shown, I’m all ears 👂.
We have lots of pics on Instagram for anyone wanting to check it out.
I wonder if you get a smaller wheel can solve this not sure the size of your wheel to cut into metal just for changing tire not sure that will be a good solution.
It appears that I did not alter the integrity of the seal of the van. The metal was an extra lip hanging out if that makes sense.
What has your experience been like finding places to park in such a long vehicle? Looking at a Transit extended length, but it is almost 22 feet. The standard 148 is 19'7.5". That's a 2'4.4" difference which might be a big deal and more limiting when trying to find adequate parking.
I (Lindsey... the less skilled at parking) have not found it too difficult to find parking. We always allot additional time for parking because sometimes it just takes a minute to find that glory spot, but we have never been deterred away because we just didn't fit. The biggest trick for us (being the extended.. so our extra length is in the back behinds the back tires) is to back up into spots. Our rear generally hangs over into a grass patch or a walking path, but you gotta do whatcha gotta do.
Mind you this is for both urban and nature. We are city bound 3 days out of the week.
We are on Our was down to south Cali right now. So, we will see how that changes.
Parking down here near Torrence hasn’t been bad at all. The only time it was bad was trying to get a meter at the beach one time. There were mostly smaller spaces available, but we finally found something farther away.
Congratulations 👏🏾 On starting your CZcams it takes alot of courage 👏🏾 that’s why I didn’t start mine yet Looking forward to see more videos 😁 one question did it solve the problem any more rubbing ? did you have to do more work and is it going to be a future problem when you add more weight ???
Thanks, we were very intimidated but took the plunge!
It did solve the rubbing problem, and I will not need any more alterations. 🙌🏼
Very handy fix hope it works our well for you
It completely solved the problem. ✅
so the guy that had his lifted from ohv said with the 3.5" lift the 245/75 was fine and you said you already had a inch after the mod maybe a little more. So if you did a 3.5" and this trimming, maybe a little from the back do you think you could go even bigger? We just lifted our company promaster 3.5" and I am at the tire stage....
It’s definitely a possibility with the life. I will go bigger if I get a lift. Let me know if you know of any good lifts. Your saying you have had OHV lift yours or is that the suspension company?
I want to know when the kitties are going to make an appearance!
Andrea Johnson very soon!!!
Now that it's been a few months can you update us? Have you had to do any further modification?
Robert Ombres works like a champ, no rubbing since day 1. 🤘
✅ Mark this as a win in the books folks.
Again good job. You are tempting me to get the 245. Did it Chang the power while driving at take off or on the highway?
We still love them. You know, I didn’t notice a difference in power to tell you the truth. Felt the same.
Lindsey and Danny Vanlife Thank You.
Have you already upgraded to Sumosprings? It’s about a 1 inch increase in back. Not sure about fronts.
I installed airbags on back during buildout. I may even get more than 2 inches.
Greetings. Everything OK with the larger tire size? Any regrets 10 months later? I've been thinking about adding the larger tires too.
Everything is great so far Michael. No issues at all, we love e’m. 😎
BTW new video coming out tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled.
What psi are you running those at?
Factory 65 front 80 rear most of the time.
Dope! Did you have to do this to the front tires as well?
Oscar Garcia No we did not. The wheel well in the front is significantly larger. Not only are the front tires not rubbing, but our turn radius was not compromised. We are thrilled with the results. 🙌🏼

What is the biggest tire size that fits?
Well the size I used is larger than stock and I needed to alter the wheel well. So, I would say the size I got, but maybe another size up if the van had a lift kit.

I can’t remember off the top of my head, I say it in the video.

We have noticed it is way better on steep gravel roads and deep loose dirt. We haven’t tried snow yet, and we can’t wait! I do have some essential tools in the back and room for more if needed. You think it’s stealthy? It’s hard for me to tell anymore.
@@LindseyandDannyVanlife Absolutely, how much more stealth can you get. Stay with stock rims. Maybe a hardhat ,clip pad and one of your two walkies visible in the cab area. Soon as you put the stick family stickers of Mom and Dad with two cats on the back window you blow your cover. You really did an amazing job and both have the personalities to live free. My sister in law was a traveling nurse. She found her bliss in Colorado from NJ and never looked back
I think you are already a natural with the hard hat and clip board idea 💡. Oh she got hooked on Colorado? We have done Colorado for 6 months in the past and loved it. We may have to go back.
DO you have the 1500, 2500 0r the 3500?
