Those 255's do look pretty sick.
However I was planning on keeping the stock rims.
I think I'm gonna go with the 255's.
They are a bit cheaper, and since I have accepted my severe case of OCD I wont have to worry in the back of my mind that when I do a U-turn it wont rub.

I like tall skinny tires. I'd pick the 255s over the 285s any day.

I run the Coppers ST 255/85/16 They will fit on a 6.5 inch to 8.5 inch wheel. No rubbing what so ever and they're wicked good in the rain and snow!

I apologize, it seems that I gave you incorrect information. I checked my tires and found that they are 265/70R16. I should have double checked before I spoke up.
