Yes. I had 37x12.5's on mine and it worked.

I ran the 35x12.5's, they rubbed a little, but it was worth it.

I don't think it's exact, but it's close to a 315.

I have 35" toyo's on my truck and all i have is the levealing kit and it does not rub Mine are the mtr toyo's. You will lose fuel miles if you are not geared right. I have 4:11's in my truck and my speedo is 5 miles an hour off.

You can go to the dealer and get the revs per mile changed in your ECM on the 05 and below. (I think it's 05 and down, but I know they can do it to an 04.5.) You'll have to do a search on the formula, but if I remember right, you make a mark on the tire and on the ground, make the tire do one complete revolution, make another mark on the ground, measure the distance between the marks, then use Pi and 5,280... something like that. Whatever you get is the revs per mile, then the dealer can input it into the ECM to recalibrate the speedo.

You're gonna lose fuel mileage with the larger tires because of rotating mass, but when I had the 37's on my truck, I would do better on the highway as long as I was steady for a long distance.
