200 bucks for a set of wheel spacers and your problem is solved. make sure they are hub centric.


for the nah sayers, my 2008 dually came stock fromt the factory with front wheel spacers......57k miles later and wheels have not fallen off.

Wheel spacers will only make it worse. They increase the swing radius of the tire, effectively the same as having a bigger tire when turning.

If you need more room for flex or snow chains, you can lift 4" or trim the fenders and bumper.

Not too sure about the Duratracs since I have had nothing but BFG's on my truck. Spent about 5 years driving between Seward and Valdez, AK with no problems on my All Terrains. I think you would be happy with either.

My Father has BFG's on his truck and is happy with them, I think between the two you really cant go wrong both good tires. I just ended up taking the good years for the higher inflation rating.

As for spacers and lifts I really like the way the truck looks now and don't want to change it with those things if i can avoid it. I think I will try and trim the fenders some to get more room for flex.
