I have a 01 Dually and i would like to get as big and wide as i can on it and it still look good. I have a leveling kit on it and i have the stock dually rims. Any info would be greatly appriciated.

 

Someone posted on here about running 285's, and using a spacer between the rear wheels to avoid contact. 255's would work great, taller and thinner.

 

I've been told 255 is the widest for the 01-02 duallies without a spacer. A 255/85 will be a bit taller than your 235's but will also be 20 mm wider

 

I take it these tires will not work on a 99 then. This is my first dually and I'm also having trouble finding a size/spacer that will work well.

 

255's will rub on the rear without at least a 1in spacer you can get a 1 or 2 in spacer at national tire and wheel i dont think you can see them on there web site but if you call them they keep them in stock (www.ntwonline.com)

 

255's didn't rub on my truck or dads. They will rub with the 2000 and older rims (less offset)

 

A good friend of mine just put 295's on her '04.5 with a 1.5" spacer on each side on the rear. I would think 2" spacers would be fine on our 2nd Gens with 285-295's...

 

255x85x16 bfg mt rubbed on my 01 what tires sre you running?

 

On my 99 my 255/85/16 BFG Mt's did not rub at all when unloaded but with a trailer they would just touch.

 

I have 235 85 on the rear and 265 75 on the front. If i run a 255 85 on the rear am i gonna be able to run wider on the front like i am now or am i gonna have to run a 255 85 on the front also.

 

You will have to check, but I think a 285 is the same height as a 255

 

Depends on the ratio. 265/75 and 235/85 are about the same height, but the 255's are about 1.5 inches taller

 

245 75 r16 on my beast here, loaded with trailer they peck on the turns.empty they have about 1/4 -3/8 clearance . but before I trailer heavy I armoral between then or baby power, and it takes the friction away from the rubing of the TIRES . learned that trick from a Buddy that was a trucker for the army. said that did it when they were over loading the trucks. I have some 5/16 spacer to put I when I get around to it..

 

255s are almost exactly the same height as 285s. On a 2000, they don't rub, even when I had 4400lb of dg in the back(not in this pic).

 

I just put 285/75 BF Goodrich AT KO on my truck with a 2" spacer. I will post pics when I can.
