James are those Alcoas on your 3500??

 

[tobaccogrower]

yes, they are alcoa's.

i had a bent rim and dodge want's like $300 per steel 16 inch rim!! Alcoa alumunum rims were like $160 a piece. plus they look alot better then those caps that go over the stock steel wheels,IMO. just spent saturday afternoon polishing them..... james

Very Cool Pair!!

Thanks!

How close are the rear tires? Even with a spacer it looks like they could touch without too much weight... That combo of Alcoa and aggressive tires works well - I LOVE the look of a dually with big tires!

 

[tobaccogrower]

there's enough room for me to stick my hand in between them.

i like the look alot. for being 5 years old, i still turn heads and get alot of "looks nice" comments!..... james

tabacco,



which i like very much but anyway i am looking to put larger tires on my truck b/c my 4. 10's are killing me! you said you have a 2" spacer how much and where did you buy them? how does the truck ride compared to before. right now i am riding on 235 85 and they look to small with the leveling kit on the front. also do you have a leveling kit on that truck? looks awsome

 

[tobaccogrower]

yes, i have a jack-it leveling kit.

i got the spacers from wheel warehouse. #1-714-722-1281 ext 103. ask for alex. i think i paid under 2 bills for the pair. very high quality. as far as the ride goes: i couldn't be happier(except for the slop in my steering wheel)! the bigger tires provide a softer ride. with the 4:10's i have, i cruies at 70 mph @ 2050 rpm with an auto. only problem with the bigger tires is i can't use mud flaps on the front because they rubbed..... james

Where did you get the two inch spacers? I replaced the 215's on my '97 dually with 235's and had to get a set of 2001 wheels to get enough offset so the tires didn't touch. Also I notice that the '97 (and I assume later) wheels are hub centered. The centering area on the hub is not much longer than the thickness of two wheels. Did this give you any problem?



Thanks, Bob

 

[Robin]

Oop's, sorry. I didn't go to the second page of this thread so I missed the post about where you got the spacers. Still wonder about the hub centering situation, tho.

[tobaccogrower]

the inside wheel is centred, then the spacer fit's over the studs and bolt the spacer and inside wheel together. the spacer has it's own studs that the outside wheel bolt's to. i've had them on for several years and many thousand miles(and 2 sets of tires) without any problems. very well made product!..... james

What brand of fuel do you get sent to your farm. Dad and I get farmland brand and every once in a while (about one in 15 transports) we get a bad batch that is low on power and just sucks.

PS

My delievered fuel matches my paint.

 

[tobaccogrower]

i have no idea what brand fuel it is.

i do know it is premimum diesel though. i run a few hundred gallons of the red stuff in my truck a year too. for under a buck a gallon you cant lose.
