you can do the math to see what is the same. You take the 235 ( width) x .75 ( aspect ) = 176.25 (rim to ground hight) You can do that with all tires and see what the diff is. A 235 x 85 is 235 x .85 = 199.75 Rim size dose not matter ( like 16 17 20 ) Speedo will be a few MPH slow with a taller tire. Just for fun a 295 x 60 is the same hight as a 235 x 75 just wider.

255/85R16s would be perfect on a dually, they're only 20mm wider than 235s but a bit taller. I think the only tire in that size that's a 10 ply/ load E are the Toyo M-55s, I just put them on my 250.

I have 36/12.6 swamper radials on mine with only a bit of rubbing at lock turning to the left, adjusting the steering stops would fix it.

I think 255/85's would kiss under load. 235/85's get pretty close with 3k in the bed.
