285's on a dually

I have ordered a new set of LT285/70/17 BFG mud terrains that i want to put on my stock dually rims. How bad will these touch on the rear? I'm not towing with the the truck, i want this for truck pulling purposes. I do however drive the truck 70 miles to work everyday. If i HAVE to put spacers on, what is the minimum size i can get by with? And where's the cheapest place to find them, thanks a lot!

I'm running 265 70 17 Buckshots and have less than a half inch between tires with no spacers. My neighbor is running 315's with two inch front lift and two inch spacers between duals. The 315's gave his plastic simulators hell and he went to aluminum wheels but they still are only 6 inches wide. He has pulled 18,000 with no problems.
