remember guys,it's it not tread you watch.look well into the crack from behind the truck.watch the sidewalls don't come in contact.when you add weight,this is when the center of the sidewalls will start to bulge outward.tires that touch like this while going down the road will heat up and they could blow out.
adding more tire width to drw setups makes traction and fuel economy even worse to already major drawbacks to duallies.

so i dont want billet aluminum?
265s in place of 236s id a bit much with out a spacer. I would keep a CLOSE eye to make sure they dont touch wheel loaded up.
Someone brought up my wheel spacers
I have 2 pair. One from ARROWCRAFT and one from Wheelspacer.com
They are IDENTICAL billet steel with the hubcentric ring. The ONLY difference was the price.
Arrowcraft $200
Wheelspacer.com $320
DO NOT trust aluminum spacers on these big heavy trucks. They need to be Billet STEEL and HUBCENTRIC

Another way to add some space between your rear duals is to put 4wd rims on. they have MORE offset than the 2wds
The 4wds came with 235s and 2wds came with 215. Why ford didnt just make one wheel is beyond me
