tire size on a dually

[DISPATCH]

i have an 01' 4wd dually with the 17in 05' rims on it. i want to fit a set of 285-70-17 bfg all terrains on it. i think they will fit hieght wise but i think i will neeed spacers in the back.



does any body know if they will fit and if i need spacers?



where can i buy spacers at? if i use spacers will i need longer lug bolts?

how wide of a spacer will i need?



thanks in advance

Don't know about spacers but make sure the dually tires don't rub. A 285 is a relatively wide tire for duallies and rubbing is not a good thing.

Check out performancewheel.com and give them a call. I installed some of there 2" spacers to fit 305/85/16's on the dually. They make a quality part I'm satisfied with. JM . 02

You can also find the spacers on Ebay, but I think the widest one that seller has is 1/2 inch.

I put the 305/85/16's on (4) stock 02 rims and (2) stock 96 rims. The tires are tall and skinny.
