    it may be possible, most ppl who run 315s on stockers have atleast a 3" bodylift. If would be very close but you will have to do some major trimming for them to fit. I say stick with 305's, they still look stuffed on stock z's.

    You aren't gonna fit 315s on a NBS without a body lift. Just go with 305s. They will fill up the fenders and you may even have to trim slightly to fit them. I barely fit my 285s without trimming before the lift with just the torsion bars cranked.

    you should be able to fit. I got a 02 half ton reg cab with a 3 inch body lift, cranked up torsion bars to level it off. and 315/75r/16 on a 16 by 8 rim and it fits with not rubbing.

    Marine, I'd go with 285/75, I had them on my truck before I lifted it, and they looked fine, filled out the fenders...

    285 maybe, i have a '94 stock height (for now) and i am running 285/75/16's with absolutly no rubbing but a 315 would do some damage
