Heavy duty dually wheels for work!!!

Hey guys looking for any input on finding heavy duty offset dually wheels. I have a 95 ram 3500 cab and chassis dump truck. I would really like to run around 33 inch tires for clearance. Problem is the truck is 10300 lbs empty and usually around 15 k loaded and working. So wheel spacers are out of the question because I'll have to run 1/2" inside dually wheel spacers and spacers between the wheels. So that's death. The problem with the cab and chassis of those years is that he inside tire is a half inch away from the leaf springs allready running 235/85 r 16. Any input is appreciated. I really need to do something to get the truck up higher but remember it's a dump truck so suspension is out. Anyone ever come across offset dually wheels that will bring the inside tire out to at least run a 285. Thanks guys!

You can get 8 bolt 19.5 wheels off of some Chevy step vans. You may look into a DRW pickup axle, as it is wider than the C&C models to gain some suspension clearance.

Not cheap but they are precisely what you are looking for:

Rickson Wheel Manufacturing

Some older Fords had steel 19.5 duallies.
I have 4 of them, but the center hole is actually bigger than Dodge.
The last set of them I saw on a Dodge, the guy was running push-through center caps on them to help center the rears up.

No, these are most definitely 8 lug.

The 90's F-450 was 10 lug with 16" wheels
99-04 Super Duty F-450/550's with 19.5's where 8 lug but on a larger 225 mm bolt pattern.
05-present F-450/550 with 19.5's are 10 lug on 225 mm bolt pattern.
The 225/70-19.5 tires that fit these wheels are 32" tall
Not sure but I believe some of the motor home chassis had 19.5 wheels but not sure what bolt pattern.

235/85-16 and 285/70-16 are the same height, 285 is just wider.

11-14 F450 pickups were an 8 lug wide track axle.
