it depends on the width of the Tire. if its a 30x9.50x15 then you're fine. even at a 10.5 width you're okay. is the 15x7x3 your wheel/rim size? 15" diameter 7" width. 3" is...backspacing?

they'll fit, but depending on backspacing they might rub at full wheel lock and if you're flexed out

almost all aftermarkets you buy will be 15x8 not 15x7 and yes theyll fit just fine. Are you wanting your wheels to stick out a bit or stick out the same as your stock wheels? the backspacing is what determines this, mine for example have 4 1/2 backspacing and a -12 offset so they stick out about 2 inches from the fender flare
