255/85/16

Im looking at 255/85/16 wild spirit TXR. Its a 33.3 in tire that is 10"
wide. I ill have to run 1.5 spacers in the back and thats ok but I'm wondering if it will fit upfront. I can turn up the bars and trim the front bumper. Think that will get it done? I know I have another post about this....sorry. Thanks for all the great help guys.

I see people are looking but nobodys talking. Is this a really dumb question or is it just something that isnt done often?

You should be able to get away with those without a spacer. They really arent that wide of a tire just about a inch wider then 235s. You will possibly have to turn the bars a bit in front. I know allot of guys that run 285s on there duallys with 2" spacers so I dont see you having a prolblem turning these.

If you run anything less than a 2" spacer your going to have to cut down your wheel studs.

oh. So if i run 1 1/2 spacers i have to cut the studs down but if i run 2" then the tires will stick out in the back past the fender, right? I'm sorry about all the questions I just cant find a lot of info on my own about this. Thanks for the help.

Search 255's in the dually section I remember there being post there some old posts on DP about them should be able to do a search and dig up some pics. I dont think they'll stick out to bad.

I have 255/85/16s on my dually, and I am using the 2" spacers on the rear. The tires stick out less than 1/2", but they do throw all kinds of crap up onto the body...if that matters to you. The fronts fit fine with no suspension adjustments, however, if I get the truck in bind on a turn...like turning into a parking lot that is inclined...the front tire rubs a bit on the valance.

The 1.5" spacers will require the non-threaded portion of your studs to be cut off, 2" inchers no problem.
