Will 315's fit?
hello all, i have not been around much cause im TDY (military).. and only have a military labtop to work with... very slow... tooo slow in fact to use search feature.. sorry but i have to ask..sorry Yeti and ya'll.. i know this has bee asked a million times, but frankly i never followed much of it.. my question is for a friend who just got a new 2003 model 250 V8, he's askin me if he can fit 315's without issue... my question to you is how do they compare to 33's.. i basically know what to say to 33's... it can be done with minor rubing..i would recommed against it myself...BUT how big are 315s...will they fit?.....sorry to ask the same thing ..but my search is to slow.. and im too lazy.. thanks guys.

315's
315 / 70's are 33.5" tall. No rubbing with moderate off roading in the Sand Dunes. Different trucks set different heights with the factory X code springs. You can check out the pictures in my Gallery. If you are planning any serious off roading I would have to agree with "YETI"... they are to tall with no suspension lift.

serious off roading
serious ON ROADING will make those rub!
also, never heard of a 315/70/16........ doubt it exists. try a 305/70/16, or a 295/75/16..... i vote for the 295's, as they are a bit narrower, and fit the wheels better.
i ran em for 13k on my unlifted sd, no issues, even "serious" off roading em

I agree that they will problably rub due to the fact that they are almost if not 35" to close for comfort. the goodyears i mentioned earlier were the only onse measuring 33.5" and the only with a 70 aspect ratio.

Tires rubbing
I have put 16,000 miles on these 315 / 70 and then only time they have ever rubbed was in the sand when I came down to hard with the steering cranked to the right and it was on the inner fender. But I do not beat my truck in noway to climb a sand hill., And mattsf250 I have never had them even come close to rubbing in a driveway or over any speed bump. But of course mattsf250 you are an expert on every Ford truck out there and seem to like thinking that every body is misrepresenting what they have or what their experiences are except you.
