Tire size on stock m37 rim....will this work

I have a line on a brand new set of gateway mudders, locally, at a decent price.
Never been mounted. Owner can't use after buying them

Size: 315/75R-16

My question: I want to mount them on my M37 stock rims.

Are these tires too wide for the rim size, AND could I use a tube with this tire?
Would the width of tire vs width of rim be too much where a tire shop might have issue
With the job?

Thanks

i'm running 325/85R16, with totally stock suspension, on stock rims, with no clearance or rubbing issues at all (other than full lock to the left, the tire will rub the drag link in the rear, but not badly)

you can probably even get away with stock inner-tubes. I sourced larger tubes for mine, but since they were offset stems, and short, i had to elongate the stem holes in the rims and then use 90 degree stem extenders. buying new tubes with the centered, brass, bent stems is well worth it!
