drw tire sizes

need tires this month

how wide a tire can i put on my drw without rear spacers?

i was wanting to go 265-70-17 but some people have suggested that the rear duals will be too close together and need a spacer

I have a friend that put that size tire on his 05. They don't rub but it is close.

That is what I run on an 03 and a friend runs them on an 04. Unless the dish on the wheels is different on an 05, you won't have any problem.

We are both hotshot drivers, he runs just the truck with a flatbed, weights up to 5000 lbs. I pull a gooseneck, loaded up to 24,000 trailer included. No problem with them rubbing.
