265/75/r16's measure out to be 31.5". 31's fit fine on a 3" lift and I've even seen 31's on a 2" lift so you should be fine. Might need to trim the front plastic a tad but otherwise you should be fine. If you disconnect the sways and really stuff them they might rub.

Edit: this is also assuming you are using the stock wheels.

you should be fine with some minor trimming.

on a side note, i just went through all your posts to make sure you werent from western ky because i too had an almost brand new set of 275/65-16 maxxis mudders give to me, but he gave them away to someone else before i could pick them up.

the tires will work just fine. theyre almost the same as a 31x10.5 except metric measurement. and obviously you cant use them on your stock wheels because they need a 16" rim, so you will have to get new wheels for the maxxis tires.
