If your not rubbing that size at stock you should be fine with 285 on a 3".
But as I read more here's gonna be your problem now ...1 your changing tire brand and style of tire. As each brand of tire size and width are all different cause even though 2 different brand of tires are marked 285/70/17 say duratracs and BFG they are not the same size in anyway except the 17" part. Some brands are on the smaller side of 285/70/17 and some run on the larger side in that size catagory being width and height.
So yes you would have no issues if stuck with the same brand and style of tire....in 285
But then your second issue will be adding wheel spacers ...spacers don't necessarily help with clearance issues, usually if not needed to fix a clearance issue with tires and you add them for looks (wider stance) then you create a rubbing issue cause a wider stance equals a wider swing when turning your tires which means fenders and trims get in the way, so then you have to make a decision are you ok trim in and cutting up your rig and if not bye bye spacers or even bye bye tires for a different brand in the same size which will probably be a couple tires you don't like or a smaller size tire cause you would like to keep the wider stance look but not cut up your rig neither.
As far as the last part of your question .. I would have no idea which tire is going to be the one to meet all those requirements ..only someone with the same exact set up you are going to do knows that answer ...or do a lot of skimming and searching members rig descriptions.
Good luck brotha
I hope you this doesn't confuse you or cause you a headache...
And FYI there are plenty of which tire is better battle threads throughout the forums you could read instead of starting another one ..when you ask opinions BFG or duratracs? :vader:Battle has begun grab a jar of aspirin :lalala
r edit and remove that part. LOL
