+1 on the 235/85R16. DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS BUT...... u MIGHT be able to squeeze a 265/75R16 if u want something wider,but the same height as the 235's. We put 265/70R17 toyo muds on the new Dodges w/o touching in the rear, But i'm not sure the difference in offsets between the dually 16's and 17's. The Toyos seem to be a bit skinnier than other manufacturers. My 2 cents.
