Just under an inch in width, a little over an inch taller. Will change slightly depending on the tire.

265mm/25.4= 10.43" wide 10.43 x .75 = 7.8 ht per sidewall
7.8x2=15.6" 15.6+16" rim 31.6" unloaded height.


285mm/25.4= 11.22" wide 11.22 x .75 = 8.42,
8.42x2 = 16.8 16.8+16 = 32.84

The 265/75R16 will fit on the stock 16x7" wheel

the 285/75R16 would need a 16x8" wheel, do you plan to buy new wheels/rims too?

they will definitely fill out the wheel wells more than the 265's.

The size difference will be noticeable.
