285 will clear with not touching the t bars... you can clear a 315 75 16 with t car cranking.. and fender trimming

3500 dually? have to make sure the tires on rear can keep the gap between them or you use spacers.

usually if you are using a wider tire you have to use spacers on rear as you cant let them rub each other. spacers are available and generally aroun 250-300. gives truck a different look and my 99 ford actually made its width 8 foot 6 inches wide. you can get tires that are 32 and still skinny which is what i just put on my dodge ram 3500...
