Beating a Dead horse (tires)

OK I'm gonna run 235/85/16s when my stock 265/70s need replaced. I like the narrower tire.
This size tire being bigger than stock anyone know if rubbing will be an issue.
Anyone run this size? Pros/Cons. How do you think it'll look.
Just fishin for any comments.

Horses are pretty...

There was a huge debate about wide/skinny tires in the off road forum. Although still not clearly defined, the general consensus was that the skinny tires are great for mud because they dig down to the harder terrain, but if the mud is too deep, the skinny tires will cause your frame to dig in and you'll be up to your, well, frame, in mud. Not sure about rubbing.

I can't answer you question, but I don't think I have seen anybody run 235/80/16 tires before, do you have any pics?

Vato Loco no pics sorry. I don't think it will look bad, heck they are like 1" smaller tread width and 1" or so taller than stock.
