Default new guy tire question

I have a stock 2000 Z71 reg cab short bed with the towing package. I want to stick 285/75/16 under it at least, what would I have to do to do that and what would I have to do to put 305/70/16 under it? Also has anyone used the Definity Dakota MT from pep boys? Thanks for your help.

I run 305 Dick Cepeks on my 02 reg. cab on aluminum wheels with the same back space as the stock ones with no problems

Default I ordered some

I ordered some 285/75/16 in the Wrangler DuraTrac. Its a new tire and I really like the looks of it. Can't wait to get them on and post some pics. Question though-will I notice any power difference?

You'll notice a little loss of power, and fuel milage.

Looking forward to see some pics. And would love to hear your experiences after putting your new tires.

Unhappy

I will take before and after pics the tires are supposed to ship tomorrow so I have to wait a little longer than I wanted.
