New (to me) tires and wheels

Just wanted to show off my new to me tires and wheels. They are American Racing Outlaw II's and Liberator AT 285/75/16 tires. I give the guy $225 for the whole set to take them off his hands. Let me know what you think.

it's really a cool looking truck: I wonder if Dodge ever made a dually crewcab those years. I guess it could be converted and some fiberglass flares added...

what Cummins you got in there, intercooled or not, and what transfer case (your sig shows a 518 tranny so I suspect a NP205)??

Looks really good on your truck.... and a heck of a deal!

Love the more traditional style on Aluminum wheels.
And probably stronger than all the newer bling-type, multi spoke wheels I see cracking under any serious loads.
Agree with 'Billut'..... 285's are just right size for your wheel wells.

Yeah the 285's look and ride a whole lot better than the original 9.50x16.5. Here is a pic with the original tires and wheels.

Yeah Dodge did make a crew cab dually back then but they only came with gas motors in them. I have thought it would be really sweet looking to have a crew cab short wheelbase truck converted to a dually. kinda like an old school mega cab
