Just send me your 285/70r16s and buy some 285/75r16s (32.8") or maybe even 295s (33.4") would be okay or if you want wider, 305/70r16 (32.8" also). Any of those should be okay for your application if you dont mind losing some power and the possibility of accelerated tranny wear.
To all the ones saying a re-gear isnt needed.. Well yea its not needed but you would get your *** handed to you by a Cub Cadet lawnmower cause it would be such a dog..
That made me giggle.
I have 35's on 3.55's (in both trucks) and I plan to re-gear my v8 truck. It isn't the slowest thing on the road, and with the torque of that good ol' magnum 360 it lugs around just fine and can pull 14mpg's, but unlike some of the people around here, I DO like to haul *** in my trucks sometimes. Nothing wrong with that either.
