I had a couple sets of 255/85s on my other dually, the first were Interco Trxus MT, absolutely fantastic tire, but they discountinued them in that size. Replaced with Remington Mud Brutes, they were junk. I needed a spacer between them, so they would be pushed a good distance outside of my fenders. If I could get the right combination I would be willing to put bushwhacker flares on the truck, but again, for every inch I go out, I go in an inch and the C&C axle already has my inner tires close to the springs. If I have to space it out away from the spring, then space the rims, I'd end up needing a regular dually pickup bed to cover them. I've been looking for years for some of the old military 9.00-16s, they were 36x9, but I can't find any at all.
I really don't want to give up the cool factor of the tucked under dual wheels, but I am sorely tempted to swap the axles just to clear srw and tall rubber. Found some 19.5s with new 245/70s, but the guy wants $1600 for them. Probably worth what he paid, but that's more than I paid for my truck, and I can get Hummer tires for $60-$70 apiece, and only need four of them. And then of course I have to worry about how bad towing is going to be with 37s..
