Dropped dually tires?

Wondering what size dually tires I need to run with a 5/7 drop? I am running a stock 16" wheel. I was thinking a 225/60/16. I want the same size all the way around. If you have pics, that would be nice too.

Thanks Scotti for the drop parts!!!

Im running 225 75 16 on mine. With a 225 60 you can probably keep your inner fenders. How did you get a 7" rear drop?

Re: Dropped dually tires?

Im just guesssing what the rear drop will be. Its a 3/4 ton I am converting to 1 ton DRW. I am going to use the 3/4 ton rear springs, but with some springs removed. I have a A.R.T 4K air over leaf setup for the rear.

Re: Dropped dually tires?

maybe things have changed but when i had my dually running on 225/60/16's they were CAR tires, the load ratings weren't optimal for a big heavy dually, but they looked killer.
