295/80/16 tires = (35 x 11.5 x 16 ) pics if you got em
i am thinking if I ran that size tire on stock rims they wouldn't rub at all what do you guys think. with out ever seeing them I think they may be border line to skinny.

You mean 315/75/16... thats 34.75 inches tall! Lots of guys are running them on the stock wheels with little problem as long as you dont have the 6.5" wide stockers!

there's a 295/75/16 (33.5 x 11.5 x 16), but not many manufacturers of them.

Here is a link to one in the 295/80/16. I don't like the tire though, I was hoping another manufacturer made a cooler tire in this size.

I have 295/75/16 BFG A/T and love them. They have about 25,000 miles and still have about half tread left. They fill the wheelwells great and don't wander around like have heard 315s can do. They will rub in full lock turns occasionally. No sign of torn treads on the tires and only some paint worn off of the lower control arm slightly. I have stock rims and no levelling kit. I do not consider this amount of rub to be of any concern. I'll try to post some pics.

I an currently running a set of 305/70R16 (33X12.50R16LT) baja claws and they rub at full lock but not too bad will the 315,s be much worse do 315,s come any skinnier than 315/75R16 if so that would help
