Ex tire size help

I have a set of 285/75/16 tires on the EX now.I like the way they look as far as filling up the wheel wells and not looking too small.I ordered a set of 20x9 wheels for it so what would the equivilant tire size be for them.Also any special preferences on tires?Thanks alot.

You can get some 33x12.5 on 20s like the Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain to keep the same diameter, but you will be a bit wider and probably get some rubbing unless you get the right backspacing in the wheels. do you want a mud type tire, or more all terrain?
305/55 20s are just about the same diameter, couple good tire choices, an less rub concerns.
See what the guys running the 20" pull-offs run.
325/50 20s would be the same ballpark for diameter too.
