Has anyone tried both sizes of tires? If I bump up from 70 to 75 will my ride be any different???? Taller tire hoping to fill up more of the wheel well for look...

The second number (call the aspect ratio) is a % of the first number. So, on a 265 tire the sidewall height will be 185.5mm with the 70 and 198.75 on the 75. That's a difference of only 13.25mm, which is hardly noticable. The problem is, with your wheel size, you are going to be limited with how big of a tire you can get. If you up your wheels to a 17 inch, you have more options for filling out your wheel well.
