From what I know as I would love to have big rig rims on a dually. Maybe one day if I decide to build a diesel version.

The SRW rear end or sometimes the chassis cab rear end is what people use. If your going for the bigger rims stepping up to a 11.5 AAM may not be a bad choice. The breaks are not a issue as width is the biggest issue. For the front the srw disk, and adapters seem to be the hot ticket to get them inside easier. Also replace your ball joints while at it. Big rims tear them up pretty good, and you might as well start fresh.

Also they have the bolt on direct rims, and those maybe the Alcoa copies your referencing. If it were my money I would probably go for those to keep complexities down.
