No rub... 305-75 or 305-85...

Trim the bumper a bit and you could run 315-75...

I've got a 2.5" leveling and can fit 35's with no issues but am running 285/75's for snow. Once spring hits I'm getting another set of 305's to run, I like the extra clearance.

Stock wheels they will rub on the springs and on the bumper. Trim the bumper and you might sneak by.

I have to concur, my semi tires are I think like 36.3 inches and they rubbed the bumper and JUST cleared the rear inner fender. I had to add 3 thick washers per bumper bolt to move it out a smidge so the tires wouldn't rub when I turned. I would suggest you add just a leveling kit to make sure you get just a little more clearance, you still would want to move out the bumper a little or trim it. The leveling kit is pretty easy, it just adds 2 or 3 leaves to the pack, took us maybe 3 hours and that included replacing the arm bracket which SUCKED after I spun a "captured" bolt up in the frame.
