My brother has a 2007 dually and he put 235-85-16 just like he used to have on his 2001. Chevy has changed the wheel since then offset/backspacing. Anybody have this problem? Are you runnin spacers on the back?

Thanks

Is it the NBS or Classic. That is the size i am running on mine, but i think the NBS are different. I have had no rubbing, i did have to air up the rears to 70lbs though when it is loaded or they were a little to close for comfort.

NBS has 17" wheels right????

Classic he will be pullin about 15k goose neck. Yes it is very close. if i find some spacers ill let ya know.

Yes i think that the NBS has the 17s. I really don't think he will need any space with them. When i was loaded last it was with more tounge weight than i liked, around 1200lbs, and i had 1000lbs of feed in the bed and they still didn't touch. They were close but i had no problem with them.

Last Friday I had a set of six BFG 255/85R16 Mud T/A's installed on my CC/LB Dually. I had to crank up the T-bars just a little so the tire doesn't rub on the plastic inner fender on the driver side, it rubs due to bumper change and air pushing the plastic back at highway speeds then staying bent back. (would post some pics but, can't do it on this computer and mine is down right now awaiting a new power supply)
