Is this where I ask about tires?

[XOC]

I have a 4x4 dually with stock rims. I don't mind keeping the rims, but I'd like a fatter tire -- higher profile more grip taller. I cannot recall seeing duallies with nice aggressive tires -- am I out of luck or can I do it?

i saw a lifted '05 dually down in jacksonville, fl on tuesday. it had BFG All-Terrains all the way around. i couldnt tell ya what sixe they were, but they did look real meaty, and had a high profile on them.

they had to be at least a 305 on the width.

best thing to do is just head down to yer local tire guy and tell them you want to upsize, or go to Discount Tire, Custom Wheels, Truck & Car Rims | Discount Tire Co. and fill in for yer truck and it will give up to 3 plus sizes that way you know what size to ask for when ya go in. i know lots of guys runnin mud terrains on a dually without a problem.

ok cool -- i have done a few of those online things but i dont think any of them made it clear if they were giving suggestions for a dually or a srw

I have a 2000 dually with an 8" lift and 35's. They required a 2" spacer between the rear rims. You can see a picture or two in my gallery. Good luck!

Hell ya - THATs what I'm talking about. Can I rock wider tires in front so the front is more like 2/3 the width of a dual rear instead of 1/2?

Does anyone recommend any specific brands/models? Stock rims afaik - 16" I think right?

I don't even know if these wheels use studs or bolts, but do I need longer ones on the rear with the wider setup? And if so, where can I get them?

These were stock rims. The spacers bolt on with the inside wheel and have studs for the outside wheel.

You can do a 255/85/16 BFG mud without any spacers on the rear. The tire is 33" tall and looks good on a dually with just a leveling kit.
It will give you the similar look as a 285/75/16 on a single rear wheel truck

Hey guys, long time no see.

I'm finally getting back to tires after procrastinating wayyy too long.

Ok, so do you think this setup would work. These would be BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM:
front: 285/75/16
dual rear: 255/85/16

Front tire height = 32.83"
Rear tire height = 33.07"
(0.24" difference)
