Been poking around the forum for a few days, Am I to understand that if I want to put the MTZ 315/75/16 on stock rims, I will not have to touch the t-bars if I use a spacer?  Has anyone done this yet and will turning the bars 3 or so turns make a noticeable difference in the look (level).  Thanks in advance!!

I dont believe you need a spacer for the stock rims and those tires, but I could be wrong. 3 turns on the torsion bars will come pretty close to leveling it, but an alingment is reccommended afterwards.
 
Wlcome to the forum, and

I have the 315-75-16 on stock rims and did not have to touch the bars or anything else. There is no rubbing or any other problems. The tires really fill in the large wheel wells and they looks great. The extra 1" (or 2" if you have the 265's) of ground clearance is a plus too. You will get 2 mpg less

skeet has BFG, a few here including me have the mtz's...look at my sig (not stock wheels on mine though)
 
I think the mtz's will be slightly wider than the BFG's so they may rub at full lock. if they do adding a spacer would be ok.

Hey IK, what's the minimum size spacer that will work with the stock rims and the MTZ's?  Thanks for the info so far...greatly appreciated.

you don't need much because teh only rub you "may" have is at full lock. This isn't even a given. They may rub or they may be fine...if they do rub a 1/2" spacer would be all you need.
