When you load them down they touch. They rub up and down on each other causing heat which leads to bad things.

I too have run 265's but not bigger...I was happy with the 265...

 

Whats the height on a 265/17? And what brand have you run

 

I have Firestone Transforces on my truck and they have been great. Stay away from Goodyear though. Had Goodyear SRAs and lasted less than 18,000 miles. I like these and need to rotate and balance em again and soon!!!

 

I have the same 05 dually. I am in the process of buying 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I see your tires are close without spacers. How much tire hangs out without your 2' spacers in? How much do you think they will be passed the fender wall? I haul 18k trailer for work, so I dont want to screw myself for a work truck trying to go bigger. But really love the look...

 

I'm putting 285/70-17 on my 06 dually dodge whats the smallest spacer i can run if any?

 

i got 305/65r17s only needed a 1.5 spacer but got 3s to keep it looking stock

 

i have on my truck now LT265/75r16 but i need 1/2 spacer. i had LT245/75r16 and didnt need spacer. but i went up a size because of the lift im doing.

 

BFG just released a 255/80R17 KM2. Lots of room between the tires. They are about 33" tall.
I'll try and post some pics of an 07 Dodge Dually we did some time this week.

 

I'd be interested in pics of 265s if anybody has em, especially on a 2nd Gen Dodge.
