I have a 2011 3500 DRW chassis. I would like to goto a 235/85/16 tire. I believe the increased load capacity will make the van drive better (it's not bad now) and I like the idea of the gearing change. I'm just concerned about the clearance, particularly between the rear duals. I searched and found lots of people happy with the size change on their SRW NCV1's, but nothing specific about a DRW chassis. Anyone?
I should mention that another reason for considering this is I picked up a spare set of steel wheels, Iam ready to order a set of dedicated winter tires for them and the 215's are currently out of stock. The 235's on the other hand are available. I know that skinnier is better for a winter tire but I am confident that the 235's would still be more than adequate and we are planning a trip in two weeks that I want the Blizzaks for.
