Default Tire size?

I recently installed a 2 inch leveling kit on my Dodge 2500 diesel truck. I currently have 285-75-16 tires on the truck, I want to put 315-75-16 tires on. Will they clear the front wheel wells and fenders? I know they will fit on the rear. Will they fit on the stock mag wheels? Thanks!

Dave,

What year is your truck, and does it currently have 16" wheels on it?

As far as tires go most are in agreement that the 315's will fit (with the leveling kit) but will rub.

How do you like the Qzilla box in your truck.

Dave 315s will rub the radius/ trac arms when you turn even with a leveling kit if you have stock wheels . I put 17 x 9s with 35 12.50s and they rub alittle on the inner fender..... I dont have a leveling kit on mine but im sure i will get one ..
