Welcome to the site. 315 will be hard to fit depending on the rims specs which you dont list. Back spacing and offset are things on rims that determine if they will fit and how much (if any) spacers you need.

To Weed's point, 315s can fit but it all depends on the rims. I am running 315s on my 4x4 07 and do not have any issues, but its because my rims have enough backspacing to not cause problems.

We need a bit more details. Are you planning on putting them on stock rims or something else???

There's other things like the wheel offset they need to know probably. Im a wheel-noob aswell all of it is pretty confusing. I think the lower the wheel offset, the more the tire will stick out and fit better. Also there is a sticky at the top of the forum which explains tire fitment and what will fit.
