FYI, a 285/75/16 is almost 33” tall and about 11.25” wide.

Does anyone have info on how a 235 85r16 will work vs the 265 75r16? From what I have read the 265 will haul better and they are slightly wider which I think will look better. Will I have any running issues with these tires?

tiresize.com has a comparison tool that visualizes the differences between two tires. Its helped me a lot in the past.

Yeah if you pick a tire and hit the specs tab, it gives you a chart with other sizes close to the one you’ve picked.

For reference, here's what 265's look like on a stock K30. There basically the same height as a 235, but are an inch wider. They may look better with your aftermarket wheel width.

thanks for the pictures. Do you think you could get away with a taller tire or would you have rubbing issues?

One inch taller should clear from what I could see on my v2500, but additional mileage and performance hit was not worth it to me.
