Here is the spec sheet for BFG R1s.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...tirePageLocQty=
Notice that the recommended rim widths are 9"-10" and measuements were taken on a 9."5 rim for the 265/35-18.
If you step up to 275/35-18 which is only .4" wider and .4" taller, the 10.5" rim will be within recommendations.
The slightly wide rim for the 265 may stiffen the tire laterally a little wihch is probably good, but it could cause the tread surface to concave a little if you need to use low pressures. Usng your tire pyrometer at the track you can adjust the pressures to bring the center back within 25° or so of the edges.
If you have both the 10.5 wheels and the 265 tires, go ahead and run them and adjust pressures as mentioned. When the used 265s wear out, try 275s. I suggest you get the tires already heat cycled. TireRack offers that service.
Good luck!
