I found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-S...607006550QQrdZ1 says hes runnin 315/75/16 with just a t-bar crank and a trim. i think are more like 305's what do you think?

Do a search on this site for H2 wheels or 315/75/R16 and you'll find a few good threads of guys who are sporting those tires. A torsion bar crank is required and some trimming is probably going to be needed.

I did a search and found alot of people with 315's on H2 wheels but none with stock wheels and 315's. Will the fit on the stock wheel?

Seems like a very wide tire for a 6.5in wheel. No reason for him to lie about it though, so who knows...

Sory about the confusion, the 315s I was talking about were NOT mounted on stock wheels. They are pull-offs from newer H2s and include the tire and wheel. As far as 315s on our stock wheels, I would say no way. There is always a ton of chatter about this on this forum, but I think most will agree that that tire is too wide for our stock rims. I run 305/70R16 Pro-Comp AT on my stock rims and will not do it again. They are safe but are wearing more in the center of the tread and barely ride on the outter and inner most parts on the tread. This translates to less tire to road contact and therefore less traction. These were on the truck when I bought it. I'm going to replace them soon with wider rims and the same size tire. Anything bigger than 305s is probably going to require a t-bar crank and possibly some trimming depending on your truck.
