For a 315/35, you should have at least a 10.5" wide wheel.
Qwik, would that be a 305/50 ?

I ran a 275/35/20 on my 20x8s with 5" backspacing for a while with minor rubbing in the rear. A 20x8.5 with 5.5" backspacing would be about the same so you should be able to run a 275/35/20 and roll the lips and be ok. I couldn't roll the lips since stepside bedsides are composite.

You have .5" more backspacing, but your wheels are .5" wider so it puts the wheel in the same location. You can actually run them and be ok, but the occassional bump will cause them to rub a little. If you really want to run the 275s, you could cut the rear lips and they will fit, I just didn't want to cut mine.

I have 305/45R22 on my 03 Sierra with a 2'' shackles. I had a friend running 265/30R22 on a 99 with a 4/6. He shaved the inside of the top of his rear fender wells. He still had a lil rubbing in the front, but remember if you ever hit a pot hole you're probably going to scrub and possibly pull the lips of the fenders down, mine actually bent my fenders one time. Every time they scrub up front on that fender lip the tires will get gashes too.
