I hate aftermarket dually wheel designs!
And boy do i. Theyre all either 6 inches wide or 20 to 24 inches tall. Im a noob here on the forum and to the powerstroke and drw setup for that matter and dont know if this has been tackled before or if im even posting this correctly but here goes. I really dislike all the options for the drw trucks. The aftermarket offerings are either too narrow for a 12.50 or theyre a gazillion inches tall and look like they where just featured in a rap video " to each their own tho ". On my ram 2500 i had kmc addict 17x9s and lived them and would love to put them on my 08 f350 4x4 but havent quit figured out how to do this and was hoping someone here has. I know it will involve removing the front axle spacer and possibly getting a different size spacer for the front. The rear tho would have the biggest offset avalible and require a spacer between the two rear wheels. Has anyone done this and have any idea what size spacer would be needed for the rear?

I saw a decent aftermarket "look" dually kit that included 6 17" rims and hardware minus the fenders. Pretty pricey at nearly 3K. I have factory 18" rims and wonder why can't I just buy some spacers and get another set of 18's. But yes, aftermarket dually in general is generally frowned upon since all you really gain is looks....truck functionality weight wise is the same.

A lot of guys run 10 lug semi wheels. You can get cut down ones to run 22,24,26" low pro SUV tires. Or run 22.5, 24.5" wheels on actual low pro semi tires. That set up looks pretty rugged to me. You would need at least a 4" lift but the tires would easily last for years. They sell multiple different styles and you can have them painted or powder coated.
