Default tires vs stock height

hey guysim on a tight budget and need tires awfully bad. ive got 5 brand new 35x12.50x17 nitto mud grappler tires sitting in the garage was wondering if i should just get one more and throw them on the dually (if they will fit) to save money for tires or will they not fit.
btw its a 2003 dodge 3500 dually truck stock heigth

I wouldn't run them on a dually but some do, you'll probably need spacers

Your gonna need at least a leveling kit to fit 35's. And ya you might need spacers. I would try n sell the nittos and get something where you don't needto put in a leveling kit and all that to fit those 35's

I had 35" trail grapplers on my 03 2500 with a 2" leveling kit. They fit pretty well, but when I made a turn that ate the crap out of the bottom corner of my fender. May have just been the offset of my wheels, but I ended up having to put on a 4.5" lift.

Just replaced mine and looked at all the alternatives! Witch you have pretty much already heard. I'd see what kind of trade you can make for the right size! You have to be sure to keep an inch of space between those duallies or theywill take out each others sidewalls.

Anytime mudsling to bad I don't have 17's at the moment. If they're pretty new you should be able to get some decent money for em. Or like one of the others said see if a tire shop would make a trade with ya.. I need to get rid of my deep off set 18's.
