Overlander HD Wheels by Agile Offfroad - Matte Grey w/Black Lip - Apex valve kit (set of five)

Agile Overlander HD Sprinter Wheels

The Agile Overlander HD Sprinter Wheels are now available in 3 epic finishes of Matte Black, Matte Grey w/ Matte Black Lip and Matte Bronze w/ Matte Black Lip. The wheel is built as a 17×8.0 with a +32mm offset, the ideal fitment to allow room for a big brake upgrade, eliminate sliding door clearance issues and the need for wheel spacers.

• Requires aftermarket (cone seat) lug bolts (not included).
• VS30 Sprinters (2019+) require Agile No Rub fenders to fit any tire larger than 245/70-R17.

What is the best wheel manufacturing process that gives our customers the highest quality, most durable part at a reasonable price?

A Flow Formed Forged wheel is cast like most alloy wheels built today but with a thick V-shaped barrel. The raw wheel casting is moved to the Flow Forming machine to forge and press the barrel width while turning.  This combination of heat and pressure aligns the molecules in the barrel, resulting in a thinner, stronger, and more dense barrel section of the wheel.  The stronger material allows the barrel to be less thick than a traditional cast wheel but hold higher strength and durability.  True forged wheels have a higher tensile strength and can be lighter than a flow formed wheel but are unattainable for most consumers because of their high price and custom order requirement.  The best balance of repeatable durable light, but very strong wheels are flow formed as found on most new performance vehicles sold. The difference is that Agile applied this technology to van applications with ideal fitments for vehicles with aftermarket suspension purpose built for offroad driving conditions.

What is the maximum achievable load based on real-world wheel and tire combo application?

We reached out to the tire experts for this part of the equation. We found the highest load-rated 33” tall tire available today for a 17×8.0 wheel. The maximum tire found was a 285/70R17 F Load Range at 95psi with a max load of 4215 LBS. Other tires had a heavier load but were not practical for the van application because they were much larger than what will fit on modern vans. After additional research, we found the tire/wheel load rating of 4,215 LBS would be the strongest in market and significantly stronger than the rear axle rating in the Sprinter.

What is the best tire size for each application?

Well, that depends on the extent of your completed, to-be-completed modification. Talk to Agile experts to get the correct tire size for your Agile Overlander HD wheels.
The “Smarter Than Dirt” Sprinter van has an LT285/75R17 mounted on an Agile Off-Road Overlander HD 17×8.0, +32mm offset wheel, with the Agile Rip Kit as seen in the picture below.

Is a spacer required for Sprinter oversized brake packages?

Using our Alcon Big Brake Upgrade kit, the Overlander HD does not require a spacer. If you use other companies’ brakes, please provide Agile with the brake information so they can check fitment.

Will you have issues with the Sprinter sliding door clearing the tire/wheel?

The wheel is built as a 17×8.0 with a +32mm offset mounted on an LT285/75R17 install without any sliding door clearance issues.

Why does this Sprinter wheel come with two valve-stem holes?

Each valve stem is positioned behind the lip face to protect it from damage when off-roading. Position one is for the RPV (Rapid Deflate Valve Stem), which holds the TPMS sensor. Position two can have the RIV (Rapid Inflation Valve), a massive second valve stem used for quick inflation.  Two valves are common in the race community because teams generally inflate/deflate from one side of the wheel but run a constant tire pressure gauge on the opposite valve to avoid over/under inflation.
