35s on my dually
 

i ran into a grates deal on 6 bfg t/a 35/12.50/17 i need tires extremly bad im not lieing wen i say my tires except one are completly tread less, my question is and please dint flam me to badly because i do kno its not the right way to do this but money is tight for now since i jus bought my new injectors but is it possible to mount the tires in the rear with out the spacer for a week or so, no more then 2 weeks till i can get the money for the spacers they are $260.00. im not gona tow or put any thing in the bed its just gona b daily driving round town minimal highway.

How bad do they touch? What kind of rims are they going on? Stock rims Hell no! It may be a good deal but 12.50 on a daully is crazy wide! Keep searching craigslist.org

my brother has 37/13.50 toyo open country mts on hit megacad dually mounted on the stock rims with a 2 inch spacer, they mounted fine and the truck rides great.

Probably could just run one wheel in the rear for a week till you get the spacer.

I ran 35x12.50s on stock wheels with a 2" spacer on my megadually

Yes it can be done but should it? The tire will be so sucked in the contact patch will be about 4 inches great for burn outs bad for tire life and stability just my two cents.

i ran mine at 45psi and they wore flat. ran them for over a year that way with no issues even towing more then the gvwr of the truck.

you do not sound like you know from experiance...sounds like it is mearly your opinion

That's true! Seen it done on other applications where the results were not so good. But hey if it worked then do it. It's just my opinion! Can anyone post a pic of a mounted picture?

if it stops raining i have a customers truck here right now with the same setup

re: Spacers and wide 35's
 

I got the spacers with 35 nittos and a lift. The truck rides great the biggest thing I notice is mileage dropped about .5-1 gallon per mile but with the wide tires. I tow a backhoe and toyhauler of 18K and 15K no issues. Drive the twisties like a 1000rr no issues. Check my album for pictures

Towing over the GVWR with 45 psi in your tires isn't the smartest move and makes you a danger to other people on the road

tiremann, I guess their is an :edit: in the crowd and I found you. First smart :edit: my truck is fully upgraded with airbags, springs bigger brakes with dual calipers. So really I only tow locally and toyhauler everywhere and always under the posted limit. My truck is far safer and up to date than most. There are people who txt, drink, talk on the phone, eat, read that are far more dangerous than I So shut the hell up since you know nothing about my truck or my million plus miles and almost 40+ yrs hauling. I was just trying to offer the guy an opinion on the spacers are fine and I am sure my weights are gross fully loaded.

The tires i was running at the time had a higher load rating then the stock 10ply tires and had a max psi of 50 so why dont you do a little research before you start barking up the wrong tree.

Are you stupid my post wasn't even referring to you :fu::ph::iws:

Keysfisher, language like that is NOT acceptable, especially when directed to another member.

Somebody needs a cup of coffee! Back on subject bottom line is can 12 inch wide tires be put on stock rims?
1) Yes they can and they will work BUT if you ask the manufacturer they will say 10" rim this is so the sidewalls and tread conform properly.
2) So in my opinion no they shouldn't be run due to wear issues and manufacturers safety warnings
3) Next is what is the purpose Looks, off road, towing or?

It sounds like this kid just needs tires and will grab what he can for a good price, Use is not the concern keeping the truck on the road is! So with spacers it should work. Without you will have sidewall wear so wait till you have the spacers then do it all at the same time! :tu:
Keyfischer your truck looks cool! But I would never tow with those tires they just wear out to fast for my taste! I run a 19.5 heavy haul tire used on the med duty rigs. I average about 60 to 80k per set. When running 17" rims getting 30k out of a set was about the best and sway under load not so nice!
Well this ends this thread I hope!
Everybody have a great Labor Day you deserve it!!:jump:

BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A

LT315/70R17, Xtreme M/T Tire

ok so they had the exact same rating as the OE tires. i do know that not all 10 ply tires have that high of a rating. my point is sill valid there "tireman"

:argh: :pca1: :c:

The BFG's in the link are E rated, the other MT's you posted link are only D rated, and I guarantee neither call for 50 psi at max load. POINT NOT VALID "TORQUE" :c:

Can you not read? They both have a rating of 3195lb per tire. The bfgs have a max of 80 psi and the procomps altho not listed on that page have a max of 50 psi.

No I can't read whats not there, How am I supposed to knopw what the max inflation of the Pro Comps is if it's not listed. I was in the tire business for 20 years and never seen a D rated tire that only called for 50 psi, therfore I think you're blowing smoke up my arse. :c:

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Pro Comp thinks 315 is the heigth and 70 is the width so they don't know much about tires obviously :w2:

whoa guys i didnt mean to start a battle on here

im going for the off road look my origanal plan was to go with a set of 34/ 1150s but this set i found first. im just going to wait till i have the spacers n not try to stupid rig my truck, im not lke i was wen i was 16 and threw a set of 38/15s on the back of my stock f150 jus to say i had 38s lmao

BFGoodrich*All-Terrain T/A KO

:humm: Guess you didnt learn everything in your 20 years did ya. right there is another D rated tire that has a load rating of 3195lb and a max inflation of 50 psi. I can not find anywhere on the net that lists the max inflation for the procomps but i promise you it was the same as the above bfg at's which i've also ran in that same size. Also just looked at the Kumho 315/70R17s on my wifes SWR 1-ton and they also have the same 3195lb rating at again 50psi...i can take a pic of the sidewall if need be.

but oh well i guess i'm just a dangerous dumb <30 year old reckneck from the south that hasnt been in the tire business for 20 years and dosnt know anything about tires at all and blows smoke up peoples tailends....if you want to keep proving your ingorance go right ahead but i am done with this thread :argh:

OK so overloaded at 45 PSI is safe if you say so :c: Also you've proven while I have better things to do than look up tire specs on the internet, you obviously don't, and with that said I'm also done with this thread.
