My question is, if I swap out the 16" rotors and drums (which need replacing anyway) and install 15" units to accommodate the 31-10.5-15 set I have, can I still use the 16" 265 tires and wheel on the 15" rotors and drums?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Yes, but it would be a stupid move IMO to swap smaller brakes onto a 3rd gen 4runner. Sell the rims/tires and buy some in a 16 or 17. You probably should start a new thread with this question.
As to the OP, I run 265/70/
17's without lift on my 96 and have no rubbing whatsoever. They are a full inch taller than the stock 265/70/16's. I think you could probably go about an inch taller, so that'd be like a 285 on a 16 or I'm not sure what they offer in a 17 that is comparable. Or a 235/85/16 if you like em narrow.
