I dont see why not. I'm sure you have plenty of clearance and I highly doubt they will rub, being that they are only 1" difference.
The 245's are 30.5" tall and the 265's are 31.6" tall

they will fit, but the front is tight... if you do any flexy offroad driving expect to dent your fenders, my passanger side on bows out slightly from a tire hit. heres a pic of mine when it was clean for once with brand new 265/75/16 mud tires

If you have stock wheels there will be absolutely no problem unless somebody has turned your torsion bars way down. Aftermarket wheels stick out more and would give you a chance of rubbing the fender if you bottom out on something nasty.
