What size tires are they and which ones are they? I need tires and was going to go taller if possible. Going wider would be helpful, but I would need the spacers too. What happens with the bolts?

I'm running 285's and they are destinations. I really like em! I'd sell my alum adapters for real cheap if anyone is interested. I just don't feel comfortable with them, especially towing.

Any idea what is the tallest size I can use without getting into spacers?

Sorry to hi-jack the thread.

It's not the height that you need the spacers for it's the width my 285/75/16's are about 11.25 " s wide

I belive Jason (skyskijason) has 255 xx 16's on his dually. They seem to be the tallest tires not to wide to rub.

that was some mud that a lot of duallys would have gotten stuck. looks good.
are they destinations A/T or M/T?
i have the 285/75/16 A/T and they do good for the price.

MT's! Even though I rarely use 4x4 for looks sake I had to have the MT's. This was the first time I have ever put it in a muddy situation.

i dont use my 4x4 much but it is a life saver. i has been raining a lot and to get my dump trailer backed in to load it i had to have it in 4x4 to move. but it wieghs +10,000lbs full, and pushing that was not easy.
