285s 3rd gen dually - Page 6

***Jeb_H*** · 09-15-2009, 05:37 PM

I am in the hunt for something along this size of tire also... I fear they are to wide for a dually??? I just want taller tires on my truck and it would be good if they were wider as well...

Great thread with all the info shared here guys... Thanks for any and all info

I run 285/75/r17 Dura's. Just a 2" level kit and Arnott bags in the rear. In my pic its a 1.5" billet spacer between the rims.

heres the spacer

Sticks out maybe an inch past the body.. And yes it gets dirty very easy

Dropped my rpm's from 2400, or so, to 2000 at 70mph too..

When I had the tires mounted, I only had the 1/4" at first. I could BARELY fit a empty matchbook between them. Spacers are a must and the space doesnt look bad at all.
