getting ready to put some 285s on my d350 wanting to see some pics

285's on a D250? No way. Even on a W350, those tires will balloon like crazy on the 6 or 6.5" rims we have. And the rears won't fit without spacers.

265's front 285's rear
Tires aren't ballooning here....

OP asked for a Dually. I don't think the dually rims are thinner than the normal single wheel rims, but either way, they were ballooning a bit on my 7.5" rims on my old F250. Ballooning doesn't mean it will look round easily to the eye, but your middle tread will wear out VERY fast compared to the rest.

I keep 55 psi all the time and the tread wears even up to ~ 75K then I get new ones.

285s are about 10 inchs wide on a 6 inch wheel really isnt that bad i dont think. i run 37x 12.5 on 8 inch wheels and there not balloned bad

anyway, they're gonna rub out back between your duals. 235's are close enough with a load of 2 tons or so in the back.

There are charts in all tire shops and all over the internet that advises the maximum tire size per rim size. You won't find 285's as permissable on our rims. I've heard of plenty of people saying on a 2wd, there will be rubbing up front with even 265's.

I have 235s on my 2wd and they look pretty large in the wheel well considering the stance. Unless you have brand new springs up front... then your nose will be an inch or so higher.

Also, I don't think you'll find an E rated 285 tire. Your probably going to have a hard time finding a reputable tire shop to put them on for several of these reasons.

I have a set of BF Goodrich TA Ko's 285 75 R16 that are E rated.

Yea 285/75 load E on my dad's 05, Toyo open country A/T, best tire ever

my springs havent sagged hardly any and im addin a 2 inch spacers in front and a 2 inch block in the rear along with 2 inch wheel spacers where can i get a good deal on wheel spacers?

rebel_horseman

I'm just wondering...why would you want to put 285s on a dually anyway? If you're looking for height go with the 255/85s which are the same height as the 285/75s with less width eliminating the need for spacers and other drive line woes. They also cost about the same.

adam greene

i want the width thats what looks good jmo a tall skinny tire looks like crap

i'm running 235/85's in the rear of mine. no spacers, just using a steel inner wheel and an alcoa outer wheel. i run around with 40psi in them when empty and bump them up to 80psi when a load will be present. even as they sit now with 40psi in them, i only have a 1/2" or so between them. my grandpa has told me 255/85's fit but are even closer of course. if i ever ran them, i'd probably have to run more than 40psi in them to keep the sidewalls from touching.

adam greene

im gonna run 1 1/2 wheel spacers

dzl_damon

To clarify, you're running a 2wd D350 correct?
