Tire Sizes?

Looking at some new tires for a 2 wheel drive F-250. They are 315/75/R16. Will these fit under my fenderwell or will they rub?
Thanks-Tanner

My truck had 315's on when I bought it. With no lift, they would rub on the springs when turning. Otherwise they seemed to fit okay but I still didn't like them. I went stock size for a couple years and now I have 285's and I really like them. Look good and no rubbing.

Unless you have some specific reason to change sizes then DON'T-stay with the stock size and your ride and handling will be fine. (2wd)

I think I'm gonna go with some 285/75/R16s. The seller wasnt a very reliable source for info on the tires and they wouldnt fit even though he claimed that they would. What brands do yall recommend?
