Default 295/75 vs 315/75 Tires for stock rims one more time

Sorry for opening new thread with same questions but didn't find exact answers.

I got I5 with adv package, but the previous owner change tires to 265/75. They are bad on road and absolutely useless offroad. Only good about them is that my wife is able to make 19mpg sometimes.

In Poland AT tires larger than 285 are really rare so i haven't so many options like You guys, and shippement from abroad is economically unreasonable. Because of the law, tire cannot stick out of the fenders. Any of the fender flares are not in my type so i won't spend money on this. Thats the facts, now the questions.

I really love h3 on 315/75/16 look, but i suppose it would stick out the fender more than half a inch.

More reasonable option is to buy 295/75/16, it will by slightly cheaper.

I'm willing to spend about 1000$ for tires. According to the budget 35 will be YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR A/T G012 and 33 BFG ALL TERRAIN T/A KO. I know that BFG is better tire, but in 35 size it cost almost 2k$.

Both options on stock rims.

Do some of you have photos of the h3 on 315/75 on stock rim showing exactly how much them stick out. Does depends of the AT tire type?

I appreciate of a photo when two h3 with 33' and 35' to compare, how much better 35' looks like.

I know the rubbing issues, and decrease MPG (nobody express this in %) but sticking out is the problem.

1) i know 315/75 isn't full 35'
2) Sorry, english isn't my native

295/75/16 tires are not as common as 315/75/16 or 285/75/16 tires.

If you are worried about tires sticking out then go with 285/75/16.
They are almost 33" diameter and if you get an aggressive AT or an MT type it will look almost as good as the 315/75/16, 35" tires.

315/75/16 = 34.60" diameter, 12.40 wide
295/75/16 = 33.42" diameter. 11.61 wide
285/75/16 = 32.83" diameter, 11.22 wide
265/75/16 = 31.65" diameter, 10.43 wide

Different tires vary slightly from those measurements.

The tires that are on mine are 295/70/18 and they stick out a bit but that might actually be because my wheels have a 0 offset. But honestly, 295s are pretty big. In the nitto trail grappler, they are almost 35 inches tall and only an in or so off of the 315s in width. So you still get a nice stance for alot less money.
