Can 285/75-16 tires fit on a 3 inch lifted Disco 2? Are the axles strong enough to take this for at least 6 months?

Look in my gallery. Mine have been holding up just fine. Just be smart with the "Go" pedal.

Now, I'm at about 4.5", so your tires may rub, depending on what other mods you have made (front winch bumper, extended brake lines, etc). Plus, the brand tire will have an impact. Some 285's are 32", whereas others are a true 33" and some are even 34". My Yoko Goe's measure at 33".

I was thinking of a tire that is 32.7 inches tall and 11.2 inches wide. Will these work?

Probably so. Who's 3" lift are you running? If it's RoverTym, you should be OK since his measurements are conservative. If it's someone else like OME, be careful, as their lifts are not always true (ie: 3"=2.5").
