    In the market for tires again and I'm currently running 265. Toyo MT's I'm stuck in between getting either 285 or the 305's

    I'd say the 285's. I'm waiting on some 295 55 20's myself. 305s might be a little much as I'm sure the 295s are. Grab a saw and get with it if you want the wide tires.

    Go with the 285s, I'd imagine 305 would be a huge hassle to fit without rubbing. And why are going to ditch the 265s? Is it because of wheel width or something? I'm currently running a 265 nitto trail grappler with a 9 inch wide wheel

    If you're asking me I'm going 33 12.50 just for the stance mainly. I know there will be cutting involved but I'm up for it.

    I imagine there's a lot of troubles fitting 295/70/17s as well? I'm stuck between 285s and 295s.. I don't guess there's a huge difference. I know this is a 16" wheel posted by the OP but maybe someone will chime in.

    I want a little bigger wheel All around. and I was thinking that 305's being 12.2 - 12.5" wide would rub a lot
