You could just do a 2" budget boost and get some wheels that have a 4" back spacing. That will give it a nice agressive look

10" wide is way too wide for anything less than a 12.50" wide tire. Look for some 16x8 wheels. I prefer d windows, but that's just preference.

You may need to trim a little of the plastic in the fender well and bumpstop it to fit 265's. I would go with 4" or 3.75" backspace

That is with the 2.5" lift. A 265 is roughly a 32" tire. I'm not well versed in WJ lift and tire size, but my buddy has one with a 2" lift and 245/75r16's and they rub a little when he stuffs a tire.
