NO...

Not suitable for 265.
I have rims similar to that one, and I up graded to 235 75 's from 215's and this was only just within the approved rim width.

You need to know the rim width, then have a look at the web site for the tyre you want, and see the rim width range that that tyre can be used on.

It also varies between tyre manufacturers for the same tyre profile.

So even later on, when putting new tyres on, I had to check the approved rim size when I looked at other tyres.

So be aware of this.
Also the insurance company will see this as a modification.

best regards,
