if you have a fair amount of distance between the rear tires then you should be ok without any spacers

I've been wanting to change tire sizes, but do not want the spacers on the truck. No one can seem to tell me for sure what size will fit without the spacers, all they say is buy and mount them, then we'll see! Hell with that. Still waiting on some 19.5's

I ran 255/85 r16s on my 02 and loaded with 3k of granite in the back there was still plenty of room between the duals.

As you can see, they're a little close, but I've ran these on 3 different trucks like this, and have never had a problem. These are BFG Mud Terrains.

You can see, they handle a pretty good load (D-39 Komatsu)
