Question about tires

my 1997 F250 that I recently purchased had 235/85's (16") on it (Toyo's) and they're slightly worn, so I'm looking at replacing them.

At the Tire rack, it says my stock tire is 235/75. Should I go with stock or are these 85's okay to stay with? Advantages/disadvantages to either? I'm somewhat dim-witted when it comes to tire sizes. The wheels are stock forged aluminum

That little change in tire size will for the most part will have little or no effect on truck.

Thks for the reply. Turns out the stock tire size the truck *was* sold with were 235/85, so I will stick with them.
