Another Super Duty Tire question

Hello Fellas, I have a 2004 f250 cc fx4 and I just had the 3.5 inch spring hanger kit by Fabtech installed on it. I added a 3 inch block in the back also because I wanted to keep the stock stance. I have the stock Lariat wheels (16x7) with 305/70/16 BFG MT's on them. This wheel and tire package looks and performs excellent, although not recommended, and they have been on the truck since it was brand new (no lift, no snow plow pkg) with no rubbing or anything, and one better than that, my gps and spedo were Dead Nuts with these tires, I guess it must have read a little fast with the stock 265's on it. Now I have alot more room and I want to put the 315/75/16's on the truck, BFG's seem to run a tad smaller than the manufacture says, My 305's were supposed to be about 33 inches tall but are actually 32 inches tall. I want to keep my stock wheels so that I dont have to buy new wheels, new lug studs and nuts. Has anyone ever put the 315/75/16's on the stock Lariat wheels? If so, how did they do, were they ballooned out or anything? BFG says that the rim should be 8-10 inches. Any input would be greatly appreciated and pictures too if ya'll have them.

I would go with the man. on rim size as they are the experts.be sure to get the 8-10 inch rims because too small a rim will deform the tire and you could have a major problem.
