Hi Sam,
I see you are stuck in a decision as to what tyres you want to fit.
However, your not just stuck on the type of tyres, but your also stuck on the size of tyres.
Let me help a little, or confuse you even more.
If your planning to lift your LC by 50mm, then your planned 265 x 65 x R17 will look daft, and look completly wrong.
They will be lost in the wheel arch, and you will be quite dissapointed.
Here is 265 x 65 x R17, not 100% representitive, as there is some 50mm droop, also before the 50mm lift, so I guess this is what a 265 x 65 x R17 would look like with no droop, but lifted 50mm
.
Here is 265 x 70 x R17, with the 50mm lift
.

Here is the same 256 x 70 x R17 size in muds. again, with the 50mm lift
.
If your going to stick with the original size of 265 x 65 x R17, then you really dont want to put a 50mm lift on it.
With a 50mm lift, some would even say that the 265 x 70 x R17 is a little lost, and possibly, they could well be right.
However, the problem which may arise then is that the "turn" on the shoulder corners of the tyre may catch the inside of the wheel arch, on a paralell plane with the ground, in line with the center of the wheel, ie, the front inside and teh front mud flap areas.
