you could squeeze 315s under there but i think it would look too crowded,,so on a stock truck i would a 33x11.5 inch tires on a 4.5 inch offset -18 backspacing wheel

i tihnk those are the right numbers

unless the tires are thinner they will still rub..but the MPGS will improve maybe 1 MPG

295s on stock are no problem and fill the well up pretty good.

I have 295's on my 3500 srw with no level kit. I think they look good, and I have no rubbing.
