2.4 Wheels and Tires
2.4.1 Wheel Clearance
The distance from the tire to the mudguard or
wheel arch must be sufficient, even if snow or
anti-skid chains are fitted and the suspension is
fully compressed allowing for axle twist as well.
Please consult the Vehicle Converter Advisory
Service [email protected] for clearance
requirements and data.
NOTE: Make sure that only approved wheels
and /or permissible tire sizes are fitted
For standard wheelhouse dimensions.
Refer to: 5.1 Body (page 175).
(Integral Bodies and Conversions)
2.4.2 Tire Manufacturers
Replacement tires should be of the same make,
size, tread pattern and load rating as the Original
Equipment Manufacturer. Under these conditions
the original tire label should be satisfactory,
however if the specified tires and/or inflation
pressures are changed then a new label should
be affixed over the original label.
2.4.3 Spare wheel
When converting or relocating the spare wheel,
access must be ensured.
2.4.4 Painting Road Wheels
CAUTION: Do not paint wheel clamp
surfaces in contact with other
wheels, brake drum or disc, hub and
holes, or surfaces under wheel nuts.
Any further treatment in these areas
may affect the wheel clamp
performance and the vehicle safety.
•Mask the wheel when changing the color or
repairing paint.

5.1.2 Back Panel Removal
When planning and specifying the base vehicle
and the conversion, select the Special Vehicle
Option, which has a detachable cab back panel.
Please consult your local National Sales
Representative for availability.
5.1.3 Integrated Bodies and
Conversions
For integral structures such as ambulances or
motor-homes with increased rear overhang built
onto the chassis the following applies:
•Reduced departure angles, e.g. rear entry
step, should be discussed with the end user
/ customer. Consider removable components
to avoid damage on ferries or low-loaders.
•Unique spare wheel stowage may be required
if obscured by rear step, check for
accessibility.
•The recommended dimensions for
wheelhouses on conversions are outlined in
Figure. E74528, E74529 and E74530.
However, in case a specific conversion
requires wheelhouse dimensions smaller than
described below, please consult the Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service ([email protected])
for an individual solution.

5.1.4 Chassis Cab
When carrying out vehicle
conversions/modifications the following points
should be considered:
•Make sure that all of the reinforced holes
provided in the chassis frame top surface are
used for full length bodies or sub-frames, see
Figures E74860, E74861, E74862, E74863
and E74696.
•Make sure that the vehicle structural integrity
is maintained
•Do not drill into closed frame body members.
•Make sure that the design for the body
alterations or additional structure disperse the
load evenly.
CAUTION: Uneven load distribution
could result in unacceptable
handling and braking
characteristics.
•Re-paint metal edges after cutting or drilling.
All metal edges must comply with exterior and
interior protection legislation.
•All fixings through the floor, sides or roof must
be sealed.
Refer to: 5.10 Corrosion Prevention (page 221).
•Ensure that any additional equipment in the
vicinity of the fuel tank will not damage the
tank in a crash condition.

WARNING: Excessive heat can build
up from the exhaust system, in
particular from the catalytic
converter. Ensure adequate heat
shields are maintained.
NOTE: The reinforcement plate in cab back
panel to chassis member area must be
maintained, please refer to Figure E74543.
Please refer also to the following Illustrations:
•Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
222).
(Figure E74576 - Self Supporting Body
Structure, Figure E74517 - Frame Drilling and
Tube Reinforcing and Figure E74577 - Low
floor Standard Chassis Frame).
•Refer to: 5.7 Roof Opening Panel (page 214).
(Figure E74678 - Driver's Standing Head
Room).
For any conversion structure attached to or
mounted onto the base vehicle cab structure the
following applies:
•Ensure that neither the conversion structure
nor the existing vehicle structure get
pre-loaded by the assembly process.
•Adhesive jointing is recommended but should
be supplemented with mechanical fasteners
to prevent initial peel and long term failure.
•Spread bolt loads to minimize local stress.
