a 315/75/16 is equal to a 35-12.50-16, I had a 97 f150 4x4, single cab with Mickey thompson 315/75/16 I had to install a 3 inch body lift to clear these tires and they still rubbed when i turned shap right, so i cranked the torsion bars a little and it solved the prob

they were also mounted on a ten inch wide wheel so i don't know about mounting them on a stock wheel

With a stock wheel they will rub badly at full steering lock with no lift.
You need a lift!!

Some people have done it with stock wheels by cranking the torsion bar all the way up and trimming some plastic on the fender. I dont' recommend it because they look stuffed and you'll lose even more performance.

What size like a 33 or 35?? Are you looking for a mud terrain? Off the top of my head for cheap tires look at Hankook, Maxxis, Mastercraft which i am running. I paid $775 mounted for my 35's.
