so i ordered some mastercraft 315/75R16 and now im stressing out... ive got a leveling kit and stock rims... is this gonna fit my 01 psd? people have said they would fit but now i totally forgot about just keeping stock rims, i know they will rub at full turn... can some1 tell me if i can stop stressing or call me an idiot!

i dont think you will have a problem... i fit 315's on a leveling kit on my truck with only rubbing on the leafs at full turn

They should fit. Theyll look like balloon tires on those rims but they will fit on them. Theyll also fit under the fenders fine. At full turn, it might rub on the spring a bit but you should be fine. You might have to trim out the little valence under the bumper though, it could rub. Mine rubbed for a bit with a 6" lift but it went away when i ditched the 12" wide rims and went to 10"s. Yours are 7" so it will be close. Get those clippers ready!

so they fit!!! they come pretty darn close to the bumper tho, and im thinking if i hit a good size bump while turning they will rub... thus im thinking i will cut my bumper. can someone point me in the right direction for ideas on how to cut my bumper?

it hits the bottom corner right? i just took my saw zaw too it... or you can buy shims and shim out the bumper a lil bit if you dont want too cut...
