it is my understanding that even though 265's would go on a 7 inch rim, they would not be ideal. they would be forced onto rim that is not wide enough and would not wear properly.
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
