You might need some to do some decent trimming. Might work out well though, hopefully someone else on here will have more info for ya :D

I think I am going with a 285/75/16...it's still a 33" tire but for a 8" wheel. Should fit a little better. Thanks for the Help.

Wonder how well a 315 on stock rims would fit?

they would look horrible on a 7 inch wide wheel....let alone the looks of the stock wheels

I didnt ask if you liked the look, I just asked how it would fit.

I have ran multiple different tires and multiple different rims and I happen to like the look of a big tire on a stock rim on a mildly lifted truck. I have had 36-14.50's on 10" rims that was pretty wide and then ran 37's on 10" rims that wasnt as wide. The wide looks good the taller the truck, but a short truck with a fat tire looks horrible to me. Ill prolly end up running a 315 or 305 on a 16x8 classic 2, but stock rims that are ONLY and INCH less then 16x8's in which lots of people run 12.50 wide tires on. That inch does make a difference but run alittle less air to flatten them out some and it will be good as long as it doesnt take letting alot of air out to get a flatter contact area.

i never said anything would look stupid....horrible maybe....but not stupid. also, a 285 or 305 is not as large as a 315...i have seen many combinations with 16x8's and 285/305's as well as stock wheels with 285's that look decent
whatever floats your boat boys
