What's the biggest i can go on a cab chassis in the rear before spacers and stuff? Im not wanting a huge set of tires. But something with a little pizazz to dress this thing up.
I think the SDs have a bit more room (and I don't know if the C&C are different for the OBS). I know on my 94 I could go 235/85-16E with no issues, even when towing the fiver. Bigger than that you might see some sidewall rubbing. Cheers!
I did find a set of Mint dually alcoas for OBS with all center caps today. Guy says hell give me a price on Tuesday when we go back to get cab and bed for buddys project.
Now you just need 4wd front covers. O wait, they dont make them:doh:
And for your largest tires size question.
255/85/16(33.3 x 9 is the largest that will fit with OUT spacers and NOT rub
265/75/16(31.9 x 10) is too wide and the sideways will rub when loaded
I am running 235/85x16 Hankooks on my '95 SD. I am fairly sure the wheel spacing is the same on 8 lug vs the 10 lug on the SD's. Anyway, 265/75x16's will rub the sidewalls on the rear on my truck.
255/85x16's may fit, and will be about an inch taller than the 235/85x16's.
