Default Stock x wheels with 35s

Anybody think i would be able to run 315/75/16 tires on my stock x wheels till my new ones came in? Im pretty sure they are 16" wheels but not sure about the rest.

I have the TF 2.5 Coil lift. i dont think there will be any rubing problems with backspacing but still decided to consult the experts before i went ahead with it.

You would be pushing your luck with that size tire. The stock rims are 7" wide and the tire is 12.5" wide, it will be a tight fit. It will rub without wheel spacers. I have run a 285/75 R16 tire on the stock rim, but had to put Spidertrax spacers on it to prevent rubbing. I have seen as large as a 295/75R16 on the stock rim, but I haven't seen a 315 yet on a stock rim, and a tire shop might not mount them.

Good idea going with the wheels instead of spacers. Not sure those spacers are all that safe IMO. I know there are a few people on this site that run them with no problem.
