how big of tires on dually

I searched the site but couldn't seem to locate the exact info i was looking for.

i have a 2001 3500 cummins dually.. wondering how big of tires i can put on it without having trouble with the duallys? I have heard of using spacers, if I need to use them where do you suggest buying them from?

thanks.
I believe i run a 235/75 right now.

I have a 265 70 16e Nitto terra grappler. They dont rub. I had a 265 michelin and they did rub each other a little. Ran them for 40000miles and never had a problem. This is my 3rd set of nittos. Id like to try a 285 though. Hope this helps some. Cant help on spacers.

well i might go order tires today... anything bigger than factory has to look better. I might try and put some wider tires on the front, i hate tall skinnys.

i'll probably order 265/75's

thanks
