a 275x65x18 is stock tire size (32" Wranglers) on FX4
a 265x70x17 is a 31.6" tire, and a 285x70x17 is a 33" tire
I use Tire Size Calculator alot, and it's my favorite wheel size calculator.
Can I recommend the BFG TA KO? It's a decent tire, and guys here on the site love it. I know it's about $60 more per tire, but you get what you pay for. And tires are worth it IMO

you can fit the 33" tires on your stock 4x4...so why not upgrade and get 2 birds with 1 stone. Ditch those crappy "P" rated for LT's, and get a slightly bigger tire

Seat Belt Experience
I've had both a 2005 and 2008. Both were touchy about the seat belts. I think I just adjusted to it and don't move too fast when leaning forward. My wife still has problems, her Impala seat belt is much more forgiving.
I'd recommend getting the seat belt extension anyway. I've found that it makes it easier to fasten the seat belt. You'll be able to lean farther, too.
Good luck,
