speaking from much personal experience.
With trimming-
You can fit 315/75/16's with cranking and a body lift
You can fit 305/75/16's with just cranking

Without trimming-
You need at least 6" of lift to clear 315/75/16's usually more like 7"
You can fit 305/70/16's with a body lift and cranking.

I had a 99 silverado 4wd with a 3'' body lift and ford torsion keys cranked up and 315/75/16 fit no problem on a 16x8 wheel.


My brother has the wheels and tires now on an 02 gmc 1500 4wd with just the ford keys cranked up and they fit with no rubbing.

So the 315's will be fine as long as you use a 16x8 wheel
