285 vs. 305?

I have to get new tires in the next month. I would like to see some pics of 285/65/R18s and 305/65/R18s. I cant decide which one i want. I think the looks of the 305s would be better but i dont know if the decreased mileage and performance would be worth it. What do you guys think. Both will be bfg all terrains.

285s will usually get you a little better economy, 285s rotate 634 times per mile where as 305s rotate 617 times.

The only difference is that the 285 is a 33" and the 305 is a 34", the 305's will look better but you will need a leveling kit. Maybe 1 mpg less with the 305's in city driving.
