Hi all. I'm wanting to get rims and rubber, before VanFest, and specifically, I'd like to know the size of "DanVans" front and rear setup. I'm not concerned about wheel brands or styles, as I have a couple choices I'm gonna look at. All are welcome to respond. I'm thinking it will be 15x7 w/245-60's frt., and 15x8.5 w/275-60's rear......Brad

Even better, as that was the size I already decided on. I'm going to have a look today after work, and then I'm going to finish my 1st. round of tune-up. I installed Bosch Platinum plugs, and a new cap and rotor yesterday. Today I have to cut-to-fit my new Accel 8.8 wires, and install Accel Super Stack coil. I tell you, after changing plugs on a 2000 Caravan (3.0l) I loved doing them on my RamVan....Brad

Not me! My old 1996 Caravan with the 3.0L was easier. The front three up front and the back three on my back looking up with a socket driver and universal. Job only took 20mins. total.

As for my Ram Van, I couldn't get the front tires off to change the front plugs. The previous service garage used an air power driver and those babys are tooooo snug tight. AND, the B2500 has E-I-G-H-T lugs per wheel !!!

he-he, life is so fun.

I can reach my front plugs on my Ram van with a long extention and a universal, so it isn't too bad. My Chevy was much, much worse.
I changed plugs on the Voyager with the 3.0 about the same as stev.
