Ok, heres the issue, I got a 99 Ford F-350 crew cab long box dually 7.3 Twin turbo diesel,yes I said twin turbo, for a tow rig to haul my buggy around. I just put the level kit on and have WAY to much wheel opening in the fenders and wanna fill it up with rubber. Id like to go 35's but am running into the issue that all 35's are a 12.5 wide, that would require spacers so the dually's dont touch, I dont really want tires stickin out of the fenders 4 inches. Is there any tire skinny enough that will work, what have you guys done? Or am I askin to much here?

19.5" rims will give you a 35" tire with an 11" width.

What tire are you gonna run? Does it have to be a 35? A 295/75/16 is a 33.2" and is 11.5' on a 8" rim and a 315/70/17 is a 34.5" and is 11.8" on a 8.5 " rim, but these are D range tires. I would want to use E range tires. Here are some sizes for BFG's.

What rims are you running? 16's? Do the newer Duallys run an 18" rim like the SRWs do? If you could snag a set of them for cheap you could run a Toyo 285/75 R18. Theyre 11.3" wide and 35" tall.
