315/75/R16 or stay with 285/75/R16

Well I'm torn, I bought my Cooper Discoverer ATPs last October and keep thinking I should've bought 315/75/R16s instead. I love the tires, they have been great so far in the dry, rain, snow, ice, and towing. They have barely any wear on them. But, my brother has 315s on his and really like the way it looks. The 285s look kinda small on my truck. So lately I've been really thinking about selling(depending on what I can get out of them) the Coopers and buying a set of 315s. So what do ya'll think, keep em or step up in size? Pic of what the 285s look like on my truck.

How wide are your wheels? Off-set?

If yes and yes.... 315's all day!

They are 8" wide. My brother had his 315s mounted on them before he got his new wheels.

My guess is you'll have lots of rubbing then. Might be better to stick with the 33's.

They only rubbed a little bit with my brother's, and that was only if he cut it really hard. Guess I could always try his tires out to see, his new wheels are same specs just a different brand.

It might just be me, but Im just not a fan of 315's on stock/8" wheels.

But I do think that a 295 would look pretty good.

I ran 315s on stock rims on an 02. I really liked the look. Should have took them off before I traded it. Running 295s now on stock rims on my 01.

Oops sorry I forgot to mention in my other post they are not stock wheels. They are Ultra Motorsports Type 164s from Tire Rack.

You probably won't get close to what you paid for them, so, it's difficult but I would run them until they wear out then go for the 315's. Just drive your truck more so they wear out faster....lol I'm in the same boat except I haven't ordered my tires yet. I'm ordering for my '13 F150 4x4 with 2" level on it. Everyone says 35's will fit, but, I'm thinking of starting with 285/70 R17 (33x11.5) just cause I don't have the money for a r&p swap yet.
