I don't think they'd tuck but with that small of a tire I think they'd fit. You have to get creative and have like 7" of backspacing to tuck them I'd guess; as well as getting creative with a hammer. Not sure the backspacing would clear the springs either.

I have been thinking about this tire with my 4/6. I think with 7" of backspacing, it would hit the leaf springs. I think a 5" back spacing would work on a 10" wide rim. You would have to roll the fenders. The only other concern is the wheel well on the bed. The tire might hit that non a hard bump and slash the tire. Not sure though.

I love my McGaughy 4/6.

Wow! Brandon the pic in your sig is 4/6? it freakin low have you set it down often on bumps or does it do alright. Your truck looks great by the way!

Im still curious how much clearence you guys have, your bumper looks like its 5in off the ground and the cab and frame has less or is that just the picture?

Here's a 305 on ~4 1/2" rear drop. There is still 1" clearance between the leaf spring and tire. I'd say a 315 is possible with fender rolling like you said.
