Default will 315/70s fit??

I know I have asked a million tire questions but the guy at the tire place said I should put 315s on rather than 305s on my 99 f-159 lariat 4X4 with a 3 inch body lift. Will I be able to get away with that?? I appreciate the help. The guy honestly couldnt tell me if they would!

ask the guy at the tire place...he's should be the expert...if he says you can than you can...if he's wrong tell him to swap them back to the 305's

315/70's what? 17" ?

a 265/70r17 has an OD of roughly 32.5" and 10.5" wide
a 315/70r17 has an OD of about 34.5" and 12.5" wide

if your trying to put it on a stock 7.5 x 17 wheel NO IT WON'T fit. an aftermarket 9 or 10" wide wheel it will. ALSO, if you don't have something (a tuner) that will correct for the change in OD your transmission shift points will be all screwed up and will eventually cause problems not to mention the odometer will be way off!
