Default Dually Tires

Hey fellas...and ladies, I've got a 2000 Dodge 3500 with heavy suspension and a 2 inch leveling kit on the front. Currently i'm running 235's...I am interested in running a larger size such as 265's or even 285's. I'm ok with buying a wheel spacer for the rear, I would like to know if anybody has this and maybe some pics.

Thanks...Dan

yes factory rims i was running factory rims. the 00-02 dodge wheels that came with the 7 hole simulaters have a different offset allowing you to run a bit of a wider tire.

Yeah, my rims are the 7 hole...as for those 255's they'll work on factory rims.

What do the skyjacker coils amount to? Is it the same as a factory setup plus the 2 inch or is it the skyjacker plus the 2 inch?
