My truck had 315s on it when I got it and they looked fine. Maybe alittle bow but not bad. I wouldn't go any wider. I dont know if it makes a difference that i have excursion wheel. I think they are the same width wheels. I had to go to 305s to pass inspection

i was running 315s on my stock wheels, they will work but they are starting to wear a little wierd. i would say 285s is as big as i would go on stock wheels.
