315/75R16s on stock 03 F350

Does anyone know if 315/75R16s will fit on a 2003 F-350 with no lift?

I have similar size wheels and tires (35 12.5 16.5) on my F250 with a 4" lift, and when cranking the tires in one direction or the other, I only have about 2" to mess with for clearance to the front edge of the fender well.

I'm pretty sure those tires will not clear, and if they do, they'll rub on your inner wheel wells when you go to make a turn.

A few have managed to squeeze them in with a leveling kit and a bit of trimming.

I have a 01 F250 no lift with 315/75/16 on 16x10 wheels, and I had to do some slight wheel well trimming and a little trimming on the air dam under the bumper.

Here's the rub. (Get it? The rub?) I have 315 75 16s on my 02 CC with a leveling kit. The tires fit nicely when you are on level ground, but they rub on the inner fender wells when you get off road, or when you drive on the HORRIBLE streets in West Valley City, Utah.

You can stuff giant tires in there, and can problably get away with it if your truck is a highway queen. I get off from the beaten path with my truck, and I would like a little more clearance.

it can be done.......with trimming, or you can let your tires "naturally" rip their own path

I have had the 315 75 16's on my truck since new, the only place I had rub in the begining was on the leafs. WHen my leafs started saging, I would start to get to the plastic of the inner well. Now, new springs, I am back to just rubbing on the leafs.

I have 305/75/16s on the stock wheel and they dont rub a bit with a leveling kit. I started to go with the 315's but figured I'd need wider wheels but plenty of people pull this off.
