taller tire for a stock dually rim

[catch2otwo]

so im wanting to get a better look out of my dually. the wheels on there are 16x6? i think. ive seen some guys run a 35x12.5 bfg on there but there is too much sidewall bulge for my taste. Is there a size that is about that height yet, narrower? doesnt have to be agressive tread either.

Try 255/85R16 they fit a 6" wheel nice and about 33.5"-34" tall

thanks alot guys. any recommendations for a nice over the road tire? i had all terrains on my chevy but i think id like to keep the tire noise down and the tread life up on this 2wd.

couple things come into play on our trucks.....what yr is yours? do you have the 4 or 7 hole rims? the 4 hole ones sit closer together and the 235/85s are almost touch'n, but on the 7 hole ones you have plenty of room...

here's the link for the 255/85r16 tires on my truck....pics of 255/85R16 i have the 7 hole rims, so there is still plenty of room between the tires...

nope....when the truck is sit'n with no load on it...couple of my friends trucks have the 4 hole and with 235/85s on them they almost touch at the bottom of the tire just sit'n without anything in them

ps---now that you've filled out your sig, i see that you have a 2wd...i don't know how big you can go then....i think 235/85 is about it...

interesting. when you say its a 2wd.... where does it rub in the front, on the bumper, wheel liner? just cause i dont have a stock bumper and it looks like the liners already been cut.

i was talk'n about your truck being a 2wd....i would think that if it were to rub anywere first it would be the back of your wheel well or the factory airdam (that you don't have anymore)
