Gearing question

I have a v10 with 4.30 gears and 245/75/16E tires. I am thinking about putting 265/75/16E tires on it and they are one inch bigger in total diameter, half and inch height rise for the rear of the vehicle. What would the total change in gearing be doing that. Would it be close to 4.10

Back of envelope calculation comes out to 4.15:1, so the answer to your question is yes, close to 4.10.

Did Ford ever use that size on a truck? Vans I'm sure.

My 2000 f250 with the off road package came with 265/75 16's. Not sure what years or other packages came with it though.
