Absolutely will be looking this up, often learning things as I go with the jeep!!
The folks i bought the wheels from had them on a 96 XJ, didn't appear too much different in lift height to mine so I did assume it should work

I'm now understanding that the 265x75x16 are closer to 32s... which also sheds some light on why cutting is probably going to be the only way... hmmm
