Biggest Dually Tire Size?

Anything over a 285 empty will need them. If you're hauling a lot and heavy I wouldn't go over a 265.
Yeah I tow a lot with the truck, was looking at a 265/75/16 but had some guys tell me I'd still need spacers, wanted to see if anyone actually ran 265's without spacers
It's tight and as always tire brand plays a role too. I'd just stick with 235's or get 2" spacers
235/85/16 Is the largest I would run. I use a 1/4" spacer with that size in BFG KO2.
You may be able to get away with larger but I sometimes run with 5K LBS on my flat bed.

I'll probably end up running spacers, 2" steel. But thinking about trying these tires out, can get 6 for around $875 http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-NEW-265-75R16-Centennial-Dirt-Commander-M-T-Mud-Tires-MT-265-75-16-R16-2657516-/262594740869?fits=Section+Width%3A265%7CAspect+Ratio%3A75%7CRim+Diameter%3A16&hash=item3d23ddc285:g:G~MAAOSwIaFZHdBS&vxp=mtr
The Centennial name has been around for a long time, I think Greenball owns it now which is a decent company. That being said, I'd make sure they had a road hazzard warranty.
I have ran lots of tires that touched when loaded. What is the problem with it. I had a roofing company and was loaded more often than not. Never had an issue. In fact I have had more issues with the stock size getting rocks stuck between them.

I know them touching isn't good, but I've never personally seen a failure. Rock between them is a diferant story.
