    I had 315s on my stock fx4 wheels. I think they were 7.5 inches wide though.

    I've got 295s on my stock f150 with a torsion bar crank and they don't rub at all.

    I'd personally keep it to 295 max, I ran that on my factory 17x7.5 wheels with no problems.

    But call around to your tire shops, see if anyone will mount a 305 tire on a 7" rim. If they do and something goes wrong, they should make it right.

    You'll probably wear the center of the tire out quicker but if you're not airing down to go off-road, it should work.

    Get the E load rating tires.
    Safety first before trying to save a few bucks.

    My friend did a D on his 2002 F250 crew and those BFGs wore out in no time.
