305/70/16s and 285/75/16s are both a 33" tire. The 305 is just a little wider, about 12" wide while the 285 is about 11.25" wide.

Yes, I already told you Toyo Open Country MT.

315/75/16 Load E

They are a great tire but not cheap. Of course you will never find that big of a tire Load E very cheap. Probably about $225

I haven't found one yet. I would like an aggressive E-rated 35" tire that is a little better on road than the MT and hopefully would last longer.

Depends on the year, the newer ones are different. Backspacing on my Ultra Claws seem perfect for a 10" wheel and 12.5" tire, you could look up specs on them and see what it is.
