37 x 13.50 R 17's? Please Help?

I am getting a 6" lift put on my dually. Will I be able to fit the 13.50's in the Toyo Open Country MT's. Thats the only size they come in. What size spacers between the rear wheels would I need? 2"?

I run 37x12.50x17 and I rub a bit with the stock rims on the lower control arms. I almost guarantee you will rub

I will have a 6" lift. I am not worried about rubbing. I was just wondering about the 13.50 fitting on the stock rim and what size spacers I would need in the back between the dual wheels.

Who needs a lift to run 37" Toyo MTs?




... and as for the back, 27" of tire fits just fine - not sure how thick the spacer is though.

PM Buck (HT3500) and ask what size he uses on his new red truck.

I thought I would bring this thread back up....

I'm considering 37x13.50's on my dually. I've seen 35x12.50s a lot, but will the 13.50s fit with a 2" spacer?

Also, for those of you running this size on dually rims, are you having any trouble because of the skinny 6" factory rims?

13.5's will probably rub the spring pack without a spacer.

hmmm. i didn't think of that. I hope that's not the case, because two spacers per side is really not an option....

anybody have any experience running 13.5's on a dually?

Please forgive me for sounding like a jerk here but why would you want to run those? The reason for owning a dually is to haul and your tailgate is going to be so high off the ground and your trailer hitch so high off the ground its going to make it hard to work. I have a 5 1/4 inch drop hitch on my 2500 with a 4 inch lift and 35`s and its still not enough for a normal trailer to sit level

But of course it`s your truck and your money so good luck!

My truck has no lift and 37's. I use a 5.25" drop hitch and it is perfect for my trailers. I did stop loading atv's in the bed after putting the larger tires on as I kept ending up under them. But that is the only down side to the extra height so far.

Your not being a jerk friend, just short sighted. The purpose of owning a dually is doing anything you **** well please, just because you can.
