My buddy has a set of 265/75 buckshot tires that I measured and they were 30.5" by tape (slightly worn maybe 60% tread) would it be worth trying to see if they would clear since I keep seeing max size is 30.5? I'm not opposed to a uca flip or a slight grins if need be. Do I need to check width on them also? I'm still not sure how to discern if it will fit. If they're worth a try, I can get em for 150 bucks.

You only need to flip the UCAs if you are doing a suspension lift. I believe those shouldn't have any major width issues. If your measurement was accurate, you shouldn't have to grind anything for this set.
I have a 3" lift on the front (thread in suspension section) and measurement t was off 2 different tires.
It's actually common to be small. My 35 km2s measured like 32.75". That's why I was hoping maybe I could shove these in there. I can't afford spacers or new wheels at the moment t and need at least 2 tires. For 150 bucks I was hopeful. I guess I'll get one mounted and see. Am I correct in assuming that any clearance off the ball joint at all is acceptable? 0 movement there?

Yup. If it clears, it clears...minus a bit of potential tire expansion with heat but that would be minuscule honestly.

I have just put on a set of 265/65r/17's on mine with a 3 inch suspension lift and they have enough clearance, no UCA flip.
