Default advantages between tyre sizes

Just wondering if there is any advantage in having a 285/50 20 over a 265/50 20. I imagine cost and a spare would be a dis advantage

Doing the tyre thing soon and want to stick with 20's and not have the hassle of close fits or might rub here scenarios.

It will be an all terrain for touring and towing more than steep rocky stuff and mud pits.

Thanx

Disadvantages of 20s over 18s is less tyre options particularly in remote areas, and less bagging offroad.
