325 50 22 or 285 55's on a dually

[HPGod]

I've kept this truck fairly conservative with a 2.5" lift and 295 60 20's. I have a buyer for my 20's and I've always preferred the look of a 22 on a dually.

My 295's on 20's barely stick past the edge of the fender. I tow a lot, but run large mudflap as well a set of rock-tamers to protect whatever I'm hauling.

A 285 55 22 measures identical overall diameter and width as my 295 60's 34x11.7

I love the fat look, but I'm torn. Practical says run the 285's, sexy says 325's.

Thoughts? Any big drawbacks to the 325's? I can see them beating up the truck a bit, but I'm rarely off the highway.

I'm pretty certain the owner of the black truck is on here. (325's)
The white trucks are both on 285's. I'm aware I'll need to run the higher (more negative offset outers -175mm for the 285's, -200 for the 325's) to run the 325's. I'll be on XD815 22x8.25

Definitely 325's. I love the look of the back tires sticking out of the fenders on a dually.

I say 285's for the higher load rating. 325's aren't even rated for a dually.

I'd have to assume they don't rate them because they didn't expect guys to run them on a dually application. If you follow the typical de-rating manufacturers provide for dually applications you're still right around 3000lbs/tire in a dually configuration.

The rims are only rated at 3200lbs anyway. Oh yeah. Buyer beware. Fuel lists their non forged, cast Maverick 22" wheels as only rated at 2500lbs.

The practical side of me has won this battle. 285 55's it is.
