i have a stock 1996 tahoe with 285/75/16 they fit fine with no problem ,i'm about to put a 3" body lift on it and wanted to know if anyone had put 315/75/16 on stock rims and if they would fit ok with a 3" body lift :mexsmoke::emotions122:

I think they will fit with some trimming. If it were my truck I think a 305 would be a better fit with no rubbing and so on. the 315 will be tight!

315 with no lift is going to require a bigger saw...unless you only want to go straight and never hit bumps. your call on that one.

I run 265/75/16's stock I think I could run 285's but!!! If your doin' some 4x4n' then your gonna be rubbin them pretty tires of yours. SO if you only have 3" of lift then I'd say 305's like B.T.F said TOPS.

CBR600F4, In order to fit them properly, you will need to crank the front up a bit. I had run a 305/65/16 in the past and they rubbed. Stick with thesize you have is m opinion
