    Man I really dig that thing. Comfortable to drive? I have been looking at Sprinters to make a motorcycle/bicycle camping rig with but that would fit the bill also.

    They are very comfortable to drive (this is important for me since two of my children are prone to get car-sick). I looked at Sprinters but they seemed to have a lot of reliability issues. We have Ford vans at work and wife hates how they ride.

    Nissan vans have by far the largest brake rotors in its class. They have vented brake rotors (14.2/14.4). Sprinter/ProMaster has 11.8 in the front and 11 inch rotor in the rear.

    If you want to tow with this thing, go with Nissan. They could tow up to 8700 lbs (no other competitor comes even close).

    I feel like people need to be more aware of positive versus negative offset. Positive offset brings the wheel and tire in. Negative offset brings them out. Most real wheels use negative offsets to keep inline with OEM track widths and stress constraints.
