the bearings are inside the hub adaptor or rotor. i can't remember. check your salvage yard. buy a rotor/ hub assy. i would think the hubs are the same. see if the salvage yard could check the interchange for you. if the hubs are the same you should be able to buy a set of dually rotor/ hub adaptors. don't forget you will need to buy 6 rims also, so all the rims will be the same. 16 inch tires are a little cheaper. but make sure they are normal rims and not split rims. if you opt to go with 16.5 the tires are a little more. i don't think the split rims were available for the 16.5's.

i want to buy some 285 75 16 on it or 33 11.5 16 if you dont know metric but dont know if i will need spacers

Wont fit without spacers. Stock you want no wider than 245 75's. 235 85 is what I run on DRW applications where I want the tallest tires with the most contact patch. Anything wider than 245 width will possibly rub on the sidewalls in the rear. Spacers add more stress to the wheel bearings.

I have done it 4 times on 2wds the barings are the same, rotors are different, if you have duel piston calipers there the same to so all you will need is the spacer and the rotor hub assembaly. 235X85R16 are like 31s
