I went with 265/75's on my stock 16" steelies. I don't think 285's would fit the rim regardless of spacers or not. I had to re-assure the tire guy that 265's would fit. I got 4 Goodyear Silent Armors put on for less then $700. Seeing as you're in NY I might recommend something other then M/T's because they are not great in the snow and ice.
I was running General Grabber AT2's on my Liberty that I just traded in. Those were alright in the snow, but nothing great. They were very reasonably priced and wore very well.

The Firestone Destination M/T's are a much more aggressive mud tire then the Workhorses. In general M/T's are not great for snow but I did some digging and came up with some reviews (offroaders.com ..ect) that claim the Destinations are great in the snow. They are a good looking tire and go for em if you like em. I'm convinced it comes down to how you drive in the snow not what you drive in the snow. If you're an avid snow driver, it won't matter what shoes are on your Jeep.
