Welcome!
On some trucks they will fit and rub. Others they won't. What kinda truck do you have, mods? Fill in your Sig to give us some info about your truck. Are you going to drive your truck off-road? Then you will definetly need a lift.

On a stock truck 315's will rub on the insides of the wheel liner at full turn. I think I recall someone also stating they will rub the radius arms too.

285's do a pretty good job filling up the wheel wells when new, but as they wear you'll lose the full wheel well effect.

In my case every time I pull into a parking lot I find myself making full turns around the corners and little islands. 315's are just too big. Here's a thought tough, what about 295's or 305's? Anyone else know if those sizes will rub? I think brand variety is minimal in those sizes, but it's worth a look for you.

I got 305's on mine and they dont rub at all, but I do have a leveling kit.

I have 305's on stock alloy wheels. they rub slightly when against the steering locks. But only on the edge of the tread and at very low speeds. I am undecided about 315's but I am leaning towards them.

295s and 285's are a perfect fit

Dr Evil has the 295s and he swears by them, for the price, they are also cheaper than 305's slightly taller and less wide as well.. That way you dont have to worry bout wheel rub on a stock lift. I have 285s but im lifted 2.5 inches.. just enough to tow a gooseneck properly Will 305's be in the future? possibly not, but when i turn my truck into my toy and drive another truck then it will be 315's and low or no tow... with 2 more inches of lift..

Tx

Mine has the 2" coil spacers and I run 315's and at first they would rub when i turned sharp, but after they wore down a little they rarely rub.

I just put 315's on mine and they rub the control arms at full lock. It's no big deal to me. And FYI, it's not something a leveling kit would fix. It needs more backspacing on the wheels.

You are exactly right. I have the D25s and my 315s do the same thing.
