Replacement Tires
Time for my brother to buy new tires for his F350 crew dually. He says all he can find is stock size. BFG even says that's it for his 18" rims and E load rating...Anyone come across anything else? Wider front? Can anything wider fit rear? Spacers? THANKS

BFG makes there all-terrain tire in 3 sizes for 18" wheels that are E rated.

The BFG A/Ts are probably the best all around truck tire made.

I suggest searching different tires manufactuers websites and look at there size charts to see whats available. Thats what I do when I'm tire shopping.

the BFG A/T is a good tire
i dont know much about duallys but 305's would look awesome on that truck...before i lifted my truck it had 305/70/16 and the guy i bought it off of put that size on his new stock 04
and yes, i believe if you go any wider in the rear you must have a spacer

Generally you can not put much more than a 255 on the rear of a dually with out some sort of spacer. But the OP says the truck has 18's on it which is not a factory DRW wheel. So it would really be difficult to give any suggestions on tires with out knowing more information on the wheels.
