Although my truck is not a dually, the biggest tire I am able to but on my truck is the 255/85/16 which is basically a little bigger than a 33". I tried the 315/75/16's comperable to a 35" and they fit height wise but when I turned, they rubbed hard. Hope this helps,Mike

You think 255 may rub<br>[/quote] Even with the 315's I had more than enough room in the rears, the front's is where I had the problem. I have the 2&quot; leveling kit already on order so I can put the 315's on.

I run 315 75 R 16 A/T's on my 1997 with no problems with rubbing although i have heard a lot of people complain about rubbing i have never had any kind of odd?! what could be the difference???
Anyhow CH here are the differences
235 75R16 = width 9.25 height 29.88
255 85R16 = width 10.04 height 33.07
I would imagine a 255 would fit on there easy enough i mean surely you have 3/4 inch to spare between the dual tires?? adn the height will even be an issue here is my tire size
315 75R16 = width 12.4 height 34.6 and i have no height issues anywhere especially in the rear!!

Hey Cattle Hauler. I have the 235 on my dually. No problems at all. I was told I could run the 255's. I am not for sure. 90% of the time you see the 235. My dad's 2002 has 235 from factory. His tires are a little flatter or should I say a little wider. I think the rim size may have changed. I am not for sure. Look into it.

 

yeah i believe it was in 2001 they started putting 16X8's on there
