Might have to wait a week until I can install my lift. The wheels will have 5.7 inch backspacing and the tires would be 315/70/17.

Think I'd be ok running like this for a few days on the stock lift?

Yup it worked great. I tried to make it rub full lock in and out of ditches and I couldn't.

Thats good to know, because I'd like to ditch the stock tires and throw some 35's on the stock rims for now.

The wheels I'm using have 5.7 inches backspacing or +18 offset... They weren't stock so you might have different results.

I'm also on 315s and they are a little skinnier than 325s (or 12.50s).

You can do that, but at full lock the tires will rub the control a bit, but in my opinion it's not enough to worry about.
