By keys you mean prekey mod or eBay lift kit keys? If prekey I do believe those tires should fit with the right offset on the rims. Not 100% on that though

is it true that 265 75 R16 is the same as 32 10.5 R16 and 285 75 R16 is the same as 33 11.5 R16?

i use my mud countries off road almost every weekend and i use them really hard. when i had my 33s i put about 10000km on them and barely got them down to the first wear area. they are a really long lasting tire if you keep them properly inflated for on road, i drove for about a month @ 15 psi on road and that was what wore them more than anything. i recommend them
