Hello mate,
Both tyres are very similar circumferences,
I'd say the 235/85's are a bit better, you may have to adjust the steering stop with 265's.
I had 235/85/16's on my RRC, it had a 2" lift and I cut the wheel arches bigger and covered the trimming with arch spats.
Much of a muchness really and if you don't need 265's I'd save the cash for something else.
Cheers.........

i had a set of 265/75/16 ITST with a 2 inch lift and no body trimming, it did catch on the arches on full articulation, it didnt rub on full lock, but i think the off-set of the wheels were right,
