[Jbenso127]

Im looking to put some tires on my 09 dually.. Something with a little more meat.. any ideas on sizes? Right now i am looking for anything that will fit with a 2.5" leveling kit. Pictures of you guys rigs with some meatier tires would be good too. Thanks!

285/75/17 is what im running on my 2012 measure out to a 34/11.5 so they arnt crowned in the middle like a 12.5 wide running a 2inch spacer in rear.

 

[Jbenso127]

Thats the size i had in mind.. Do you have any pictures of it you could post?

 

[03f3507.3]

ill try getting a few more tomorrow this was with a 2.5inch leveling kit and 3inch rear block im running a 4inch now.

 

[Jbenso127]

Very nice.. Yeah i believe this is the size i am going to be doing.. How was the pricing on those tires?

I got all 6 toyo mt's with spacers for a little over $2,000 went with the more expensive billet steel spacers instead of the cheaper aluminums though.

Spacers for..?

For the rear wheels, you gotta keep them spread apart or it's flats for you

What he said spacer...adapter you will run between the rear duals you will need a 2 inch wide 8 on 200

:doh: I knew that.. Just not what size to run. How much do those spacers usually run? and where is the best place to get them?

Cheap ebays can be had for $100-200 but do some searching and you wont wanna go cheap. I paid $450 for the ones i posted but there are even more expensive options out there.

I am also looking at a set of 22.5s. The gentleman wants stockers back on his truck and is wanting to trade so i am going to see what kind of deal i can work with him. If its a good deal then i may just do that for now. Would adapters for an 03-04 work for an 09? Or is it a different lug pattern?

I wouldn't run 22.5 if you gave them to me. The ride is absolutely horrible. The tires will dry rot before your wear them out. Plus it hurts your resale not having stock dually wheels to go with the truck.

I have 2 sets of dually wheels.. I wouldnt give up a set if it was my only lol. But like i said its just an idea.

To answer ur previous statement, no 03-04 spacers will not work on ur 09

Yeah Ford changed to 8x200 in 2005 so they will not work. If your going to do 22.5's look into having 5mm's machined from the inside lip to run 22's. Lowest ply I have found in a 22.5 was a 16 or 19 I cant remember but they ride absolutely horrible on a 1ton!

[B.Warning]

I've ran 22.5's on several trucks and the key to making them ride correctly is tire pressure. I ran 65psi in the front and 50psi on the rear. The trucks rode just like stock. Maybe a little firmer but not horrible like some said. If you run alot of miles I'd look at that route. Its cheaper than shaving the wheels down and running a actual m/t tire. Also...a 22.5 open shoulder traction tire will go surprisingly well off road. I never had a problem getting around in soft fields. And every truck they were on weighed close to 10k.

Then what is the 8/170mm pattern? Because that is consistent in years 03-09 on a couple sites I have looked on? Not arguing you guys insight... Just askin questions lol.
