Taller or Wider ?

I am trying to give my tuck a little of a taller look with the tires but I dont want to lift it. Am I better off to go with a 245 75 17 or a 265 70 17 or 285 70 17 goin on an 04 fx4 scab. Pics are great if anyone has them

245 75 17 is 31.5in tall
265 70 17 is 31.6 tall
285 70 17 is 32.7 tall
so if you want hight than you want the 285 here is a calculator so you can try any size you want http://www.4lo.com/calc/gearmetric.htm
