The wheels that I have are only 9'' (20x9) wide....before that I used a 8'' (17x8) wide wheel with stock size tires, it's the offset and the back space that makes the truck handle better....wider stance. It's like having the drw, just shy of 3''-4'' on each side.

The 17x8 w/stock size tires is what I had on when I towed a 45' enclosed alum. trailer (#6100ish) and with 50-60 mph winds hitting the side of the trailer and not really feeling it unless going by a big rig that blocked the wind while passing it. At that point, I did feel the lane dividing bumps...but still stayed in my lane.

I don't have the measurements of a drw but here's where I'm at... 84'' with 10'' of rubber/tread hitting the ground.

Just trying to help ya and sharing my experiences....

 

I was gonna offer you my DRW axle and front adapters to swap but looks like you already got it done. Did you switch beds or bolt up fenders to your existing bed?

 

I STILL have my original (dually) rear axle on my truck. I really really REALLY want to find someone that is interested in converting to a dually that is willing to swap axles with me. any single rear wheel 2500 of 3500 axle with a 4.10 ratio will work. You can have the front dually wheel adapters for free. There has got to be someone out there who wants to make their 2500 a dually...

 

Where are you?? Only thing is my ratio is 3.73's

 

I am in Fresno CA. I would love a 3.73 but mine is 4x4 and the axle ratios have to match. If you have a 4x4 we can swap both??? Other option is swapping the ring gear on the rear axle. I have all the tools and really want to get this done. My truck has 35,000 miles and my axle is in perfect condition.
