    I have 265's on my 5lug! Definitely 285's for the 4wheel crowd, my desert sand 5lug.

    Edit: rims are 16X8

    285's look much better but more wear and tear on the truck, worse gas mileage, etc. made me choose 265/75 instead. They look ok but the 285's would definitely make it look more aggressive.

    well if you really want to get technical about it 265/75/16 are 32.65" tall... and according to Chris4x4 anything taller than XX.4" is considered to be the next size up.

    sorry you don't get much of a show KPT...

    I ran 265's with my 3" lift and they were too small. I am now running 285's but I will go tall and skinny next time!
