Re: A question about rim size...
The larger tire is about 34.6 inches tall while the smaller is 29.3 inches
tall. The smaller tire (stock size) came with a 7 inch rim although you could safely use down to a 6 inch rim. If you just need something to get you by (emergency use only) you can probably get a used 33" (275-285mm) tire on an used 8 inch rim pretty cheaply.

Re: A question about rim size...
Your 315/75/16 tire calculates out to be 34.6" diameter, which will vary
slightly based on rim width and manufacturing variance. The 2 tires you suggested as spares will be significantly smaller diameter. To calculate the tire height of metric sized tires, use this formula: (width*aspect ratio*.000787) + rim diameter = height in inches This will give you the tire diameter in inches. You're going to need a tire close to the same width, or a higher aspect ratio to end up with a tire close to the diameter you are looking for. One other option would be a larger diameter rim, but that will cost big money for rim and also tire. if you can find a tire with 80 aspect ratio, 295 and 305 width would be close, and if you can find 85 aspect ratio, 285 width would be close. I think these are going to be pretty odd sizes to find, but maybe I'm wrong.
