New dually wheels vs '96 dually wheels?

[RT_Craig]

I am investigating running a taller tire on my 96 dually and am curious what the offset difference is between mine and the new truck dually wheels. The 215/85R - 16s just arent my idea of a tire that belongs on a 1 ton. I heard that 235s are borderline on my stock wheels. Any input appreciated!

I have 235's on mine without any problems empty or with a load. As far as they offset I can't help.

Justbeamn is correct... you won't get into trouble til you try to put 255s on the old wheels. Then they are too tight with any type of load. I am about ready for new tires, and I have read everything I can on this. There is lots of previous threads discussing this, if you can get the search to work for ya. It seems to be intermittent for me

99+ Wheels Do have a different offset (What it is exactly I dunno) but as you can see the 255's in this pic Have not rubbed together under load whatsoever.
