Check out my gallery, when I first bought the VX it had 265/75/16 tires and now I have 285/70/17s. The big difference between 265 & 285 is the width so the 285s will require more cladding trim in the front. Personally I like bigger tires with some offset so 285s are my fav.

The first tires I replaced the stockers with were 265/75x16"

I soon realized that to me, they just didn't look "beefy enough".

So I went with 285/75x16"...

Then "offroad evolution" kicked in...

Now I think my VX looks "weenie" with anything less than 33x12.50x20", & much prefer the look of 35x12.50x20"...

Yeah, I'm lifted to pretty much max as suspension lift goes, & have had to do LOTS of trimming/ mods to enable a full lock turn, but I wouldn't want to go back...

But that's just what works for me.

The taller sidewalls of the 285/75's have the advantage of more rim protection in offroad applications, at the expense of crisp cornering. That's why I prefer a larger rim diameter.

Were I to have a "do over", I'd probably be rollin' on 35x12.50x18", sacrificing a bit of handling for a bit more sidewall height.
