I just got a 04 GMC 3500 crewcab 4by4 duramax. It has stock tires with 16by6 Alcoa rims. I'm wondering about what tire sizes I can put on the truck. I want it to look more like a 4by4 than a 2wheeldrive. Where can I find these greenkeys for the front end? Do they work well? What about tire spacers for the rear end,and are they save?
Thx

You can go with 235/85R16 which will be tight in the rear and could rub with a load on. Or you can go with 255/85R16 and put a 1.5" or 2" spacer in the rear.

Do a search...there is some controversy around spacers and the like. Someone justput 235's on a dually, and it was real tight, but no rubbing...yet.
Good luck with the new ride!

Thx for the response. I'm concerned about the safety of using spacers. Some say they are okey and others say not to use them if I plan on towing. I definitly don't want to loose a tire becouse the lugs came loose.
