You cant run a 315 tire on just any wheel. The wheel has to be wide enough for that to work. And your going to need to have 10.5 - 11 inch wide wheel for a tire like that. How wide are the wheels you have now?

I run a 265 on a 18x10" wheel and I love the way it looks it doesn't look "squared" its more round(the sidewall)...I got a couple comments on how my tire seats on the rim...weird.

Well I ran a 275 on 9.5 in wide wheel. The wider the better imo. You just get more rubber on the ground so you hook up better. I actually would have gotten 295 rears had I been the guy that origanally got the tires.

Hey Bro!!! I think that you could run a 305 wide tire without any trouble. But Im guessing that will be about the biggest that you can squeeze on there. But you might want to talk to a tire/wheel shop about how wide you can go on a 10 wide wheel.
