dually tire size change?

Hello,

I have a 91 E350(cutaway) with 215/85-16 and was thinking about changing to 235/75-16, which is what Ford is putting on current E350/450 cutaways. Has anyone made this change? Wondering if I'll have enough space between tires if I go with this size. If no one has an answer, can you direct me to were I may find an answer.

Thanks,

-Vic

How much clearance do you have now loaded?
if you have 2" or so i dont think it would be a problem.
both tires combined would be about an inch closer together at the new size. maybe if you jumped it off a curb or something where the tire really flexed?.
