They would be less then 1/2" taller, and 1/2" wider, so you won't notice much.

Looks like somebody lost/broke a C-clip. I don't know how that axle is still hanging in there

Ive got 315/75-16's on stock aluminum rims. no driveability issues, but they do rub the lower control arm on sharp low speed turns. Offset will not always solve your issues, it may create more. I tried going with a 1" different offset on mine to try to eliminate the inside rub and created an even worse rub at the outside rear of the wheel well. (where your mudflaps would hang from. changing the offset affects alot of different geometric angles in the front. im not saying your offset wont work, just saying to be sure before you drop the coin.

thank guys for the input.. now i gotta figure out which tire to go with... nitto terra grapplers or nitto dune grapplers. i dont want some CRAZY mud terrain tire, becuase my truck will see more road than dirt and mud. Ive read reviews and they both are great tires, just want some opinions... if i go with terra grapplers ill get the 295/70/18, with the dune grapplers i may go with 305's..Thanks in advance for your input

I had the terra grapplers on my 24v. Didnt last aslong as I had hoped. I have General Grabber AT2's now. They are a little bit more aggressive tread but are very quiet and have worn only slightly. Have 20K miles on them. I run 315's on offset 16inch wheels. 2 inch leveling with no rub.
