Default Tire size question

Ok so I have a 2-2.5" level 2001 ram 1500 and I just bought 315/75/16 mud tires for it and I was wondering if I could fit them on the stock alloy wheels without any harsh rubbing issues. Anyone running this setup?

Nope. Need a 5" lift minimum and 16x9" wheels, not sure what offset and back spacing.

You can run 33s but not 35s. Need a bigger lift for 35s. If you MUST fit them and are on a budget, get a 3 inch body but personally I would get a 5 inch suspension lift.
