Question Again 315's

Alright, I have done the searches and looked 100's of pictures I have a 02 f350 diesel crewcab short box Lariat. Some ppl say that they fit 315/75R16 no problem they just rub the springs at full lock which I dont mind. Others say that they there is no way they will fit without a leveling kit. As for rims I want them to be the stock ones I am not worried about rims width I have mounted 35x12.5 on a 5in wide rim before balloned like a mother but never popped off the rim just kept the tire pressure low. I will not be using this truck for much off road just to tow the jeep to the mud holes and trails as it is not hwy worthy hahaha. So tellme what the scope it buddy has a 04 dodge 3500 with a diesel rubs on the springs at full lock and that is it.

P.S. Not a book person.
Thanks for your input

IMO dont do it. Do a mild lift and the 35's and it will look in perportion. If you keep the same wheels and run the 315/75/16's you will rub, and for me that is not accectable. My neighbor has a 04 with stock wheels and yes he rubs at full lock even with a leveling kit, imo allready making a ****ty turning radius truck even worse. You may not want to hear it but pony up and do it the correct way get the proper backspacing and offset wheel for that size tire. Plus even if that will fit do you really like the stuffed tire look? PS this is just MHI good luck.

Would the 315's rub even with a 4 inch lift on stock 16" rims? I have seen many trucks like this and was planning on going that route myself because unlike some people I really like the way the stock wheels look.

Yes they will rub. It's not the lift it's the wheel size that is not correct for that tire size.You will need to get a wheeel that has the correct backspacing and offset.
