315's with no lift?

Hey guys. I'm currently on a road trip and had a blowout. I'm looking at getting new tires all around and I was wondering if 315 75 16 would fit with no lift? I plan on doing a small (2-3") lift this fall and would hate to get tires again. I currently have 285 75 16 on the beast. Also new rims are in store since I bent one during the blowout so if a different backspace would help it's definitely an option.

I have 305's on mine no lift and they rub turning sharp.

Here is a online tire/wheel confabulator you can use to see how tires will fit on your truck

Thanks. I know there were people running them with no lift. I tried searching but for some reason it doesn't work on my phone

I don't think they go above 305's

For now, pick up a used tire and rim with your current size, then when you're ready to level out the front, add the 315s. Expect them to rub a bit at full turn.

It's pretty hard to find used Ford rims in my area. So 315's will rub even with a small lift?

I have 315/75s on stock rims with a 2" leveling kit up front and there's no rub at all.
