The first number is the distance from bead to bead. The second number is the percentage of the first number that is sidewall. The last number is the rim size in inches. I believe this is how it works.

265/75/16 is a 31.6x10.43x16 according to the tire converter supplied above.
265 is the tire width, in millimeters, 75= 's Aspect ratio (ratio of section height to section width)

I use the 2" narrower rule of thumb, a 10" wide rim can hold up to a 12.50 wide tire.
So yes that 10.50 wide tire and a 10" wide rim should be ok. But you will barely have any side wall curve at all. It would mount up better on a 8.5 or 9.5 rim I believe.
