Dude, remember this is the 2nd Gen forum. I think you misread the question.... He asked about the stock steel wheels on a '99. They are only 6.75" wide. Your '03 has at least 17 x 8's maybe even 17 x 9's.
If you've been a dealer for 20 years I don't have to tell you the kind of liability that goes along with doing something as stupid as putting a 315 on a 16 x 6.75.
Now, on the factory aluminum wheels that became available in '00 or '01 the 315 is not a problem because they are a 16 x 8. That extra 1.25" makes all the difference.

I had that style wheel on my 2000 1500 ext.cab shortbox. I was able to run 315/85R16 Wrangler RTS,s without a problem and it filled the wheelwell nicely and no clearence problems. P.S. does anyone know if any mfr.makes a wider replacement wheel for a '99 dually,would like to run that size again??????

Without lifting the truck, they will probably rub on a hard turn with a compressed spring, like going over a bump. I had 12x16.5's and they rubbed a bit, so do my 285x16's.
