235's in place of 215's???

[Archive]

Guys,

I have a 99 3500 cab and chassis. It has 215's on it from the factory. I noticed the new 2000/2001 duallies come from the factory with 235's. Can I put 235's on my truck when I buy tires without fear of them rubbing???? Say if I go with 235/85's will I need to have the speedo recalibrated??? If so how is this done??? Can the dealer do it???

thanks
Don

Check my signiture. Yes you can. Be sure you get an E rated tire and compare section widths of a few brands. Also search the archives.
As for the speedo. I think you will need to add an electronic device to correct. Again, check the archives.
