Running dualls

I bought a set of adapters from Fred Goeske at http://www.wheeladapter.com/. They are steel with a hub centric ring built in. Running a stock 17" GM inner wheel with and aftermarket aluminum outer and 315/70/17 BFG's with no spacer between the wheels. May switch to a 285 or 295 so the tires don't touch so bad in the middle. Overall width is about 97".
So what u did is put the dually spacer on the axel the put a dually rim on then the regular rim on the outside? I was thinking of making a spacer that welds to the inner steel rim and making a plate to bolt to that then bolt a regular rim to that
These guys make wheel blanks that you can mod. I welded in my own center than welded a 10'' 1/4 thick tube to bolt the outside rim onto i will try and get some pics posted. the best thing with the mrw wheels is you can get them in 10'' wide. here is the link http://www.mrt-wheels.com/
They measure 3 1/4, flange to flange, 3" would work fine though, plenty of spring clearance.
Dually wheels inner and outer, with 315's it measure just over 96" which is the width rule fore some organizations. A regular rim would be cool on the outside, but width at least for me would be an issue.
I want to run 285's on dually rims and still be under 96" overall width. Do you think a 2" or 2.5" spacer would work on each side without hitting the springs?
If your going to run dually rims then u should b fine with only a 1 1/2 inch spacer I believe I tried that option but I want to run a full size rim if I can
I'm running a 3" spacer with 17" dodge dually rims. I bought the spacer off of ebay. Do you have upgraded axles? My first run out with duals I broke an SCS axle, so I upgraded to yukon's 38 spline axles and spool.
I know all season diesel performance has a used set of duel wheel conversions for sale on his website.
true that!
Lol I have 4 16" steel dodge rims I'm going to weld a 8 inch steel pipe to it that's 3/8 thick and then weld a flang that has a 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern to the pipe so I can bolt up my 10 inch rim to that!
2.5" would never work with 315's, very close with 285's. I would say with a 3" spacer and 285's you should be under 96".

well we will c how they work!! there heavy as hell and sofar im into the whole project for right around $100 plus tires, i went with bfg AT 295 75 16, it was the cloest and best thing in size i found to my sts, i used a stock dodge first gen rim for the inside rim and built my spacer off that, i have 1.5 inches between the bfg on the inside and the leaf springs,theres about 3/4 inch of space between the side wall of the tires when the weight is on the the tires, and about 2 inches between the thread of each tire
