A 285 most usually = 33" tire and a 315 = 35" tire. You could probably put a 315 under your truck especially with a 3" body lift. I have a 01 SupreCrew with 315s on a stock wheel and no lift. It's a little tight but it fits. I am in the process of switching over to a 9" wide wheel and I have now had to do some trimming to accomodate the extra 1.5" width. See my sig pic and thats all stock with the 315s....

And i was wondering if a 35" tire (16" wheel) would fit on my truck if I got a 3" bodylift. I have a '97 F150 4x4
The tires i was thinking the usual BFG A/T's, you can't go wrong w/ those.

The other numbers are needed to determine how tall the tire is. A 315/70R16 will be much taller than a 315/40R16, for example.

I'm confused on the whole tire size issue.
The tires i have on now are 255/70/16. So the tire width is about 10" on the stock wheel. Is it able to put on a little wider tire with the same wheel, and does like BFG make an A/T tire that's like around 33-35" (tall) with the right width specs to it? Thanks again.

Your tires are approximately a 30x10.00-16. You can easily fit (if you have a 4x4) a 285/75-16 BFG AT KO on your stock 16x7 wheels. The 285/75-16 works out to be approximately a 33x11.50-16 tire. I ran that combo on my truck for a few weeks after I bought it. I still have a pic in my gallary.
