I think the 10" flare is way too much... good luck getting a tire/wheel to fill that out unless you run a super-wide long-travel suspension (i.e. NOT a 4x4.)

I really wish they made a 3" or so flare... it would look a little more normal.

 

ok if you look at the pics of them you can see there is plenty of room for 40s as far as I can see and from seeing the truck up close and in person there's still 6 inches from the tire to the fender. He's running a set of 1 and half inch wheel spacers up front. I just thought you guys might find em interesting I'm buyin a set cus I think they're sic and would look hella killer on my truck. imo they would make a great look and something diff and non conforming wich is what I'm about

 

No way 40s would fit without a lot of work... the clearance issue even on a truck with stock fenders is the back of the front wheel well...not the fender itself. If 35s hit there on many leveled trucks, what makes you think a 40 is gonna fit without pushing the front axle forward (longer control arms...) Plus, wheel spacers will only make it worse on the clearance issue when you turn... not to mention your wheel bearings and ball joints...

To fill that huge 10" flare, you'd need to run 15" wide wheels and a 5" spacer! I'm not saying that it can't be done, just sayin that it isn't very realistic, reliable, or functional on a daily-driven truck...

 

they do acomodate for alot of suspension travel, but i agree bryson, the wide wheel will rub the door and bumper if its not lifted and wheel spaced and backspacing make it worse

 

Not 100 percent true bryson ok so you wanna run a wider wheel and tire on your duals what do ya gotta do. Put wheel spacers in the wheel spacers do not and ill say it again do not stress the wheel bearings even on the front the only dif between the fron axle on a 1ton and the front on a 3/4 ton are the hub extentions that's it those are basically 5 inch wheel spacers in fact the bearings are the same part number and I know you can run a 15 inch wide tire on the front of a 1 ton truck with no rubbing issues at all. Now my truck with no leveling kit clears 35 in toyo muds with no rubbing on the fender and my wheels have the proper back spacing so they don't rub the control arms. Ask any of the good suspension guys like kelderman or kore and they will tell you no 2 trucks sit the exact same hieght wich means that 1 truck may clear 35s while another from the sme plant on the same line on the same day won't so for you guys to say there's no way 40s will fit well on one truck they won't but another they will so yes your partially right and at the same time wrong. But hey its my opinion and I'm entitled to it and I like em so I'm gettin them I just figured some of you guys might like em too

 

I'm not telling you not to get them, I'm just saying that I think you'd have a hard time making a 40" tire fit without moving your axle forward, or having tons of lift.

Also, the dually spacers are huge... no argument. BUT, dually wheels have a HUGE amount of backspacing, so they cancel out forces from the dually spacer, and don't place any more load on your wheel bearings and balljoints than normal. If you were to run a 5" spacer and a standard offset (non dual) wheel, that's where the undue loads come into play. On a rear dually axle, you have 2 wheels, one facing out, one facing in, so the offset is 0. Even with a rear spacer, the load is only placed an inch or so (however wide the spacer between the duals is) further out than stock.

I also don't see how you could run a 15" wide tire on the front of a truck (dually or not,) and not have rubbing issues. Unless the truck is lifted a whole bunch...

 

The back spacing doesn't change or off set where the wieght is applied no matter what its still held on and supported at the lugnuts in fact the only reason that a dually uses the same wheel front and rear is for rotation purposes only and also so there is need for 1 spare tire I mean common sense would tell you that. In fact the sole purpose of that wheel spacer is to accomidate the use of a dually style wheel in the front I know guys who run 1 tons with a standard truck wheel up front they all drive hotshot trucks hauling cars around the country and the reason they do that is to prolong the life of the wheel bearings.

 

im gettin me a set of these when i get my lift n bigger tires... there kick a$$!

 

Oh and by the way they are a direct bolt on replacment to boot

 

the dually wheel has ALOT more backspace! the only reason a dually runs a spacer in the front is so you can run the same rims all around. so with dually spacers and dually rims the tires are in the same positon as a SRW setup. the stock rims with 35 and larger tires will rub the control arms and Just barely clear the fenders, they will hit mudflaps if installed. . ther is NO WAY a 40" tire will fit without a buttload of lift! I have a 6" lift and 37x13.5 tires and they rub on the fenderwell (because of my rims) the plastic liners have been trimmed and the pinchweld on the cab is right up against the plastic liner and has been trimmed also. those fenders will not allow much if any more tire because of the cab sheetmetal.
