what size rims do you have? i am not sure about the size, but a 9'' or 10'' wide rim would help. i had a set of 315/75/r16 on stock rims and they did not stick out very much at all. the stock rims are 7'' wide.

Yeah if you want that wide look, you gotta get ten inch rims, at least. I have 8 inch rims on my truck (aftermarket) and they dont stick out at all.
Then on those rims, 305's would give a nice wide look. 315's would be a little higher then 305's but roughly the same width.

The width IS 315 mm for 315's and 305 mm's for 305's. That's what the number means. 305/75/16's are 305 mm's wide, and the side wall is 75% of the tread width and the 16 means 16 inches for the rims.

Oh no you are right, I wasn't disputing that, it's a little more than a third of an inch. I was just clarifying the formula.
