Hey everyone so I have done some searching and have some info but all the posts were fairly old so thought I would see if there is any new info out there. I have a 2014 350 dually and want to run 285/75r17 tires on the factory rims. Now We tow a 16000 lb fifth wheel a lot. Do I need to run a spacer? I have heard some people say no and some say yes a 2" but all those threads were back in 2011. So now that we are a few years into the new style duallys, is anyone running this setup? How much do the stick out? Pictures are always awesome too. Thanks.

Yessir! I just put 37-12.5 on mine today with a 2.5" spacer to make sure I have enough clearance between them with a load! I did a ton of research like 2 weeks worth so it's pretty fresh in my mind. As you know, they're ain't much info out there on duallys
No idea man! I'm sure with 1" spacers yes I doubt it with 1.5"! However do not go and buy cheap china spacers!!!! Also they need to be hub centric so it'll ride like factory! http://www.trailsport4x4.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=Ford_F350Dually_8x200_14x1.5HC these are the 1s I bought...well from them mine are 2.5"

i have a 2" spacer for my 06 f350 dually but it was too big. im almost 100 percent sure they have the same bolt pattern. but i also got american force classics 19.5s when i had stock rims i definately needed spacers and i only had 34" tires im pretty sure they were 285s are 285's like 34" tires? i would reccoment at least a one inch spacer

yea my stock rims with 34" inch tires were almost 11.5 if you have 12.5 i would reccomend bigger than 1"

if you go to discount they wont mount them for you every year they get strickter and strickter about how wide of a tire they will put on a narrow rim. they practically wont touch duallys and they absolutley wont touch spacers. i guess laibilities. in the past five years i use to get my duallies tires mounted there and now i practically have to do it myself. about 2 years ago they did my 285s on the stock 17's once i had a blow out they warrantied them and they wouldnt touch it unless it was a 265. which screwed me over because i got 6 tires lol
