if you look at your 295's on the ten's and look at the sidewall - it is probably comfortable, but probably getting towards the limit. for the 265's on 10's, realistically the tyre needs to compress another 2 inches, which will probably stop the tread pattern from sitting flat on the road.
i would say wear and even handling would not be as good as a 245. the overall look would probably look better with a 245 in my opnion
295s have a recomened rim size going on BFGs chart .of 15x8 to 15x10 so i would of thought 15x7 for 265 be ok bit small but ,iv got 295s n 265s on 15x8 n probs cheers pat
