Default Diff Guy, Same Question: Tire Size Help!

Ok I've a done a lot of web browsing and caught a headache instead of a price deal! I'm coming the pro place, again and every time. I need (different)tires, whoopty freakin wallet busting doo...
2000 2wd SLT plus... Factory 15" wheels
235/75 15 in the front & 31x10.5 in rear, all terrain of course...
What (suggested) size shall I go to for "wide stance" instead of (just) tall?
I'm used to a/t and mud tires but I don't rough ride anymore, just highway and the occasional grass. I will be doing some trailer pulling once I get a hitch and leaf helper. Any help will do me good, like always. Thanks y'all!

Ok soo obviously 265/75 15 are basically the same size as 31/10.5 with a few millimeter differences... Wtf & ahhhhhhh!!!!??? And the speedo tripping don't matter, my foot is bigger than the pedal anyway...

If i amnot mistaken a 265/75r15 is between a 30x9.50r15 and 31x10.50r15. What does the sticker on the door post calls for? The sales person should have a book listing for all autos if you goto a tirestore.

The factory sizes were 235/75R15 and 31x10.5R15. If you want a wider stance get a wider tire such as a 31x11.5R15, but you'll probabl have rubbing issues.
