Can i use 265/70/r16 tires?

[Yus4eel]

looking at some 265/70/r16 goodyear wrangler kevlar tires. Stock is 275/70/r16. Will going down to a smaller size have any effect/is it okay? Stock suspension and 16"rims on a '98. Thanks

Thanks, just want to be sure they're safe. Is there a website you used that calculates that?
