285's on a Dually?

[camok10]

Not really sure were to post this. I'm looking at getting a 4x4 cc Dually it needs tires and I have some 285 75 16 laying around. How woolly they fit on the rear? I'm assuming I need spacers. Also dose any one have pics of this setup maybe on one?

I have looked into this for our dually. You'll need two and a half inch spacers if you don't need to run tire chains and 3-inch if you do. I am currently running 265 on the front and 235 on the back, any wider in the rear and I would have to have a spacer now. The front tires do not rub but they are darn close.
Also for the safety of others on the road, don't cheap out on the spacers. There is a company called Freds out of Texas. They make steel hub centric spacers, those are the ones you want.

Thanks! I'm not planing on chains because there not allowed in MI. How close are your fronts? Have turned up your t.b's any?

Totally stock, no crank. So close that when I lost just one screw on the fender flare, it rubbed while backing up.

Ahh She should be fine then, nothing a lil trim and crank can't fix.
