I have a 2000 dually 4X4. What is the biggest tire size I can run on the stock 16" rims without them rubbing like fat girl thighs?

I'm looking at 265/75R16 General Grabber AT2. Has anyone seen this size in the dual configuration?

255/85-16r is about the biggest you can go without needing a spacer. A 265/75-16r will be a 31/10.50-16r & will require a small spacer to avoid rubbing. It will also be a shorter tire then a 235/85-16r by an inch or so.

Thanks! How much spacer do you think? That would be cheaper than buying 4 tires (since I already have 4 AT's)...and look FAT. I figured the sled pulling guys would chime in with their combo...

Can't say for sure on a 265 but I think you might get by with a 1/2" spacer.

Does having the spacer in there weaken anything? Or affect anything really?

 

[tholdenfl]

I found a company on ebay that makes hubcentric spacers for large offset but doubt half inch would cause any problems.

Your truck looks Awesome Diesel Brad!!!! Thanks for the pic. I may run the wider tires up front in that case/

If you tow heavy or use it hard spend the coin on Fred's adapters.

Thanks. My next set of tires was going to be 285s a 2" rear spacers. 255s are too odd ball of a size

I run 265/75/16's on my 2001 with aluminum wheels, no touching even at 24K lbs bumper pull. They are almost exactly the same height as 235/85/16s. Brand of tire changes overall width, so some brands have a wider tire than others.

So true....

I have the 2in spacers from fred worth EVERY penny. I tow a 15k tow hauler often and im getting a 18k 5er toyhauler soon. I have 315 75 r16 but have a 5in block in the rear and a mini spring pack in the front. couple down falls.... they wear funny..not alot of shops will touch them with such a big tire...mpg goes down.. you get Axle wrap and need traction bars...and everything wears out faster.. IF you Tow alot i wouldnt get 35's. im playing with the idea of going to 285 75 16 they look pretty good when these wear out might get that sizw, but i love the look of 35's.

Are these rims "Alcoa's"?

 

[Bradbilt]

Mine were Eagle Alloys. $140 a rim

The factory superduty dually aluminum rims are made by Alcoa. I'm running 285/75-16's with 2" hubcentric spacers from wheeladapters.com, and couldn't be happier with the look or performance of the truck.

BFG AT/KOs, can't tell wear wise because they just got mounted a couple weeks ago.

:whs:

So far I'm happy with them, the few miles they've seen anyway.
