35's on dually, how much wheel spacing?

Just wondering if anyone new how much wheel spacers was needed to fit 35x12.50 on my dually. I have a 5 inch lift. I know this has been asked before, but I have forgotten how much to put on the inner and in between the duals. Any answers that would be great.

thanks, I heard that some guys put wheel spacing on the inside becasue when you put weight in the box and hit a bump, the leaf spring/shock or something along those lines will slice and pop the tire, inless that is just a rare occasion.

Highmark,
I was told that a 1/2" spacer was needed to keep from rubbing on the inside of the tire. I am going to be putting a set of 35X12.50 on next week and plan on adding a 1/2" spacer first.
Good luck,
Topper

I think the need for an inside spacer depends on what tires you run. I have had no problems with mine and I dont see 315s hittin either. But if your tires run a little wide or have a super aggressive sidewall you may need an inside spacer.

Thanks everybody, I might do a liitle bit of spacing on the inside becasue I haul a gooseneck sometimes. So maybe just a 1/2" on the inside or something should work to be on the safe side, if anybody has any pictures of 35's on a dually, that would be awsome. Thanks again.

Ive got 9000 lbs on my back axle everyday (sometimes up to 11 000), and have not any problems with 295 toyos rubbing the leaf pack, or each other, with just the 2" arrowcraft steel spacer between the duals.

Thanks for the picture, judging by everything I should be fine to run
2" spacing in between the duals and not have any problems. Thanks again.
