Dually rear wheels ???

I am trying to find wider and taller tires for the Dually but the rears are causing a problem.

The only size tire I have found that is both taller and wider is a 285-75-17 but the rears almost touch with no load on them.

Any advise out there???

Thanks

Dan

Use a spacer between the duals.

I run 315/70/17's on my dually with a two inch spacer between the rear duals. But, I must warn you that you need to be careful when choosing a tire especially if you run a lift with a rear block. Too wide of a tire can cause your inside rear duals to make contact with the rear leaf springs. This can be solved if you choose to run another spacer between the inside dual and the mounting surface.
