Get some OE steelies from a 1 ton and the 285 rated at 3750 you'll be all set. That's what we did and have been running Nitto DG for 2 seasons now. Very pleased.
Good luck, Bill

Yes, sidewalls on the 285's are much stiffer than the 265's...they have higher load rating.
No problem running on 7" wd wheel...plenty of Folks running them on 6.5" wd wheels.
