265/75-16 on a DII may require the spare tire rack to be raised. I found that out this weekend.

biggest tire on stock disco w/ no trimming:

D1 = 245/70-16

D2 = 265/75-16 (may get a bit of rub in some big dips)

So are you going to rotate your spare mount? Pretty easy to do, the are dirrections on http://www.expeditionexchange.com/
it took me a little over an hour to do and a few new inner door panel clips.

I have thought about either rotating or simply drilling new holes about 12mm lower than they are now.

I did not find your rotating direction yet...still looking though

Thanks Mike- It seems either way you will have about the same amount of modifying.

And either way is simple to do. Decisions decisions.

Go get an easy chair, sit out behind your truck with beer in hand and think on it, it will come to you.
