you need a leveling kit and at least 16x8 wheels

16x8 is the stock rim size. If your running stock rims you will NEED at LEAST 1/4in spacers on the front. Otherwise get some aftermarket rims with added back spacing. They will fit without leveling.

I am running 285s on my truck and I have one spacer ring on the passenger side front wheel, that is how it was when I bought the truck used. I dont have the raking issue I had on my previous 98 Dodge 4x4. I had a 2" leveling kit and 2" body lift on that truck and even on 285s it still raked on the passenger side when I turned towards the right hand direction. It didnt matter what brand tire I was running. As for fitting in the wheel well, as far as I understand 315s should just clear without a leveling kit.
