Default 315/70/17 tires.

I have a 2006 3500 4x4 and was looking at putting on some new rubber. I was wondering if the 315/70/17 wills fit on my truck i do not have a leveling kit yet but am looking at one in the future. If these tires dont fit what size can i put on my truck, i also have the factory rims on the truck.

I know the 2500's with 315's will rub at hard lock(the control arms),not bad at all.I ran them for 4 years without any issues.305's should not rub at all.
Also the lift will not help you,its all about the backspacing of the wheels.

here they are on a stk.2500(315's)...hope this helps you
