Wondering what size tires you guys are running. I am tired of looking at all that wheel well on my 03 QC dually. I have 2" spacer in the front and still running 235 80 17. I ran 255 85 16 on the rear and 33 12.50 on the front of my 2nd gen and would like to do the same on my 3rd gen. But i cant find any 255 80 17 other than bfg mt km2 Also are there any tires i can get more than 22k miles out of.
 
My 3rd gen leveled on 35's on 17x8 std front and 17x6 dually rear's. eagle 058 wheels. Currently dropping to 285's, not enuff clearance under gooseneck.

With the 285+ size tire, you do NEED a spacer between the inner and outer. I ran a 1.5" and think a 1" would be about stock spacing.. Ran 285/75/17 Dura's. Heres a couple pics..

I also have 285/70/17s on minw with a 1 1/2" spacer in the rear. 2" leveling kit in the front. It rides and looks good
 
do i need spacer between the rotor and the inside wheel with 285s i already have a 2.5 spacer for between the duals

do you have any more pics that is a very sharp truck how much to the rears stick out past the fenders
 
They stuck out a good 3" only running a 1" spacer between duals. Its setting on 265's at the moment or i could get any pics you wanted with them on. About a 1/2" between duals Never had an issue with rubbing each other, I don't tow heavy (10,000-12,000) but usually hooked to a trailer daily.
