Doesn't a 315/70/17 = a 35x12.50x17?

They're close, but everyone measures a little differently. According to the math though- those tires should be split wide open on the inner sidewall in the rear.

Yes, I'd be surprised if you could run those without spacers...

Yes, you will need them. Stick with a reputable brand and follow the manufacturers directions when installing them. Also, do a chalk test to make sure the tire has a flat contact patch with the road. This is important when running them on the narrower wheels.
