I currently have 285/75r16 on my 96 dually. What is the biggest tire size i can go with the stock rim. I would like to squeeze a 305/75 or a 315/75 :beer

 

[mailman1175]

Someone on here just installed 305/85-16's, but needs spacers on the rear to keep the tires from rubbing. That'll be your problem with anything that big: The rears will touch unloaded, let alone what they'll do loaded.

Trade for a SRW and put the biggest tires in Creation on it. Just my 2 cents.

The 305/85s look sweet on the 2nd gens. It would be hard to run anything bigger.

This is texs4x4's truck:

I run 315 75 r16s and they tuck just fine. I have a 4" lift, but with the oe arms, when it tucks, the lift makes no difference except on the top of the fender. I run a 2" spacer on the rears.

Next time I get tires, I'm going 37's and building longer susp arms. I rub the lower right arm occasionally if I really try. (it sounds terrible!)

Oh btw, this is my WORK truck. I thrash through trails dragging equipment on trailers with these tires on, and they tuck good. I mean they tuck in REAL offroad conditions. I would have run these without the lift, but the lift came with the truck The dually backspacing lines up nicely for maximum tire size. I didn't want pizza cutters because the front end on these things is so heavy.

Ur truck looks bad a$$ total and you you performance I am running the 2" spacers in the back so i shouldnt have a problem with the bigger tires rubbing but i do have a Dyna star leveling kit what do you think run the 305's or 315's

 

[totalloser]

I would run the 315's. IF they rub, it will be when the tire tucks HARD and it will rub the top. Thanks! even when thrashed, a black truck looks mean! You will definitely need the 2" spacer for the rear, and it wouldn't rub in the rear, anyhow. But you gotta get those tires apart. And here's the nasty thing; There's no flares for the rear to my knowlege, and with 315's sticking out with spacers, it will throw up some SERIOUS rooster tails in the rain. I put flex flares on mine. They work but they're UUUUGLY. And I hacked myself up some mudflaps from a set of NAPA generic big rig mudflaps. That wasn't too ugly, and works well.

Another thing to consider, is that the spacer uses a (22mm?) thin wall socket, so you will need that to change a tire if you get a flat. It will look mean and keep your heavy beast from getting stuck in embarrassing places.

I was running 305 x 70 on my stock wheels with a 2" spacer on the rear, with out the spacer they were way to tight on the rear end

[INDIANAFARMBOY]

Brentc: Do you happen to have a rear shot of your truck with stock rims and rockstars both? I would like to see how far your tires stick out past the fenders. By the way that truck looks COCKY!
