Yes, you can fit a 315/75-16 (35x12.50) using your OEM wheels with some minor rubbing on the frame at full steering lock. However, if you ever buy wider aftermarket wheels, you will have to lift the truck to fit them. If you are gonna keep the OEM wheels forever, a 295/75-16 (34x12.00) would be a good size.

I have 305's on oem 7" but next time i'm going 315's and finding oem 7.5" wheels.
The recommended for both is at least 8" width
I'd say it would only get unsafe if you were to go to the extremes and try to put a 14 or 15.50 on a 7" rim.

i've got 285/75r16's on the factory rims. granted, i have a 4x2, so the wheel wells on your truck wont look quite as full, but there's some pics on my thread:
