Tire size on 07 mega cab dually

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am wondering what size tires I can run without wheel spacer. BFG does not make a 235 70 17 . I would like to run the same size or go to 265 if I can. Just have not heard good things about wheel spacers. Thank you all for your help

I think a guy at work has 285s. Seems like he put a small spacer between the rears b/c he pulls a trailer now and then.

I had the same problem because i didnt want to get spacers either but i did want a little bit bigger of a tire... these are 265/70/17s and they do really good and i have plenty room between the back tires. you can look at my pictures in my profile! hope this helps!
