285's will work. it sounds like your leaning that way.i say do the 305's, will fill the wheel well better. you will be happy with either one. is there a big price difference?

im leaning towards the 285 now due to talkin with a tire shop...might be better for gas and horsepower...its just over 80 buck more for 305..so yea i could save some money....nice piece of change

well then i would def go with the 285's. $80 a tire is a big diff.

305's would be worse in gas mileage because their wider. skinier helps mpg. didnt really think you cared about that. for the money, def 285's. wouldnt mind seeing some pics when done.

yea i dont care too much, but still wouldnt want to lose 2-3 mpg...plus bein a toyo mt is heavy enough as it is...but i did think i used to have a ranchhand front bumper replacement on my truck, so nothing should be as bad as that...hahah

and no its 80 bucks less for the set!!!....what u think

my bad. i missunderstood that. i thought it was per tire. thats not a big diff. i would go with what you want. 285's will help mpg and are slightly lighter. they will look good and are the same height. go with them. and if you go offroadin, just air them down and they'll be just as wide.
