305/75/16 on Stock 16" Rims

Can I run this size tire on my 16" Rims??? I'm not too worried about rubbing I think I can make it work but I'm just wondering if my rim can handle the size of the tire.

Thanks

Well...I run 315x75/16's on stock wheels with no issues. I use a 1" wheel spacer and shaved arms for clearance.

Yes I have seen this size on a 3rd gen. The inner wheel well liners rub and a little action from the big freakin hammer were necessary on the lip weld I believe it is called.

Expect mileage to drop accordingly....
