315's

I want to run the 315's with my stock rims but Discount Tire told me that I would have to go with a bigger rim 16x8 1/2. I PM'd one user that said he hasn't had any problems but he doesn't pull heavy so don't think the stock rims will work. Any thoughts?

I have 305s on 16X6 dually rims and they are just as wide as 315s. Mine are fine but they will cup eventually. Keep them properly inflated, balanced and rotated.

Is the 16x6 typically stock?

I put the 315's on my stock rims, after a trip around the block I had them removed and put on some 16 x 10 rims. They rubbed on my leaf springs when turning left or right, and where an 1.5" further into the wheel well. With the new rims, They stick out past the wheel well and no more rub. The wheel well plastic is already gone.

Hey Rampage, do you run spacers on the front or just between the rears?

The front has 4 inch spacers from the factory just like yours. I have no rubbing issues on the leaf springs at all. I have two inch spacers in the rear.
