highboy rim backspacing

I want to put 16x10 rims with 315/75/16 tires on my stock 76 highboy, does anyone know what backspacing would be best.

I have 16x8 now with 265/75/16, and when I turn full to the right the tire just clears the steering (power ram assist)

I know how to take measurements and find my own backspace, but just wondering if anyone is running that size tire and rim combo and clear the steering and how much your sticking out.

is 315/75/16 the biggest i can go with just the factory lift?

is there anything else i should be concerned with besides clearing the steering?

I Have Knowen People To Fit 36x12.5's On A Stock Highboy. But If Your Springs Are Sagging From Age Then 35 Is Probably The Tallest You Can Go.
