Exclamation [IMPORTANT!] Tires.. Buying Now

Hey Guys.. I'm like 8 hours from ordering tires.. I'm bald in the back.. I was all over the road on Ft Hood this week.. Was raining here.. I have two options of tires.. For an amazing price (friend owns tire shop)

Option 1 - 265/75R16 Wild Country A/T

Option 2 - 285/75R16 Wild Country A/T

I heard people say they got 285s under the truck with little to no rubbing.. I'm considering it.. What I need is the sizes in inches, I know 265/75R16 are 31.09 inches tall.. But I need the width of the tire so I can compare the two.. I dont want a tire sticking way out.. Not sure if a 285 is a 12.50 wide.. Would like some input.. I need tires and I refuse to hit the 255/70R16 stocks.. They are ugly, small and worthless LOL..

Thanks!
