I ain't no wheel expert but I don't think that will look right, the wheel will most likely poking out. Your fender will be over the wheel that's not a good idea.

youd have to stretch the tires, add camber, and lower it alot to make it look... okay

fronts I wouldn't personally run more than a 245 on a 9 inch rim (i'm running 245 on an 8.5" and its pretty flush).

I can tell you from experience that 265 will rub when you turn the wheel all the way (had my old summers put on by a local shop who didn't know they were staggered wheels and they put a rear on the front by accident).
